I'm new to the DBA world, and have no one else in the company to look up to. Does anyone know what I might need to check out or do when the Data File Size is 204% full? Or is this not necessarily a bad thing?

I'm getting this from a Diagnostic tool I have.

The number of tables is 148
Data file size 35,941 MB
Data Size 26,549.92 MB
Index Size 177,130.02 MB
Log File Size 5.05 MB

Thanks,

Yes I have 65 GB free on the server. So that's about twice as much space free of the size of the database.

Where did you get those numbers? Data size will not be large than data file size unless there are multiple files in the filegroup.

These numbers came out of the Idera diagnostic manager.

If you are using SQL Servr 2005 , it's worth checking the Reports - which essentially access DMVs and give you some relevant information
