I have inherited a fairly large SQL Server database. It seems to take up more space than I would expect, given the data it contains.
Is there an easy way to determine how much space on disk each table is consuming?

If you are using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), instead of running a query (which in my case returned duplicate rows) you can run a standard report.
Note: The database compatibility level must be set to 90 or above for this to work correctly. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/bb510680.aspx
sp_spaceused can get you information on the disk space used by a table, indexed view, or the whole database.
For example:
USE MyDatabase; GO
EXEC sp_spaceused N\'User.ContactInfo\'; GO
This reports the disk usage information for the ContactInfo table.
To use this for all tables at once:
USE MyDatabase; GO
sp_msforeachtable \'EXEC sp_spaceused [?]\' GO
You can also get disk usage from within the right-click Standard Reports functionality of SQL Server. To get to this report, navigate from the server object in Object Explorer, move down to the Databases object, and then right-click any database. From the menu that appears, select Reports, then Standard Reports, and then \"Disk Usage by Partition: [DatabaseName]\".
After some searching, I could not find an easy way to get information on all of the tables. There is a handy stored procedure named sp_spaceused that will return all of the space used by the database. If provided with a table name, it returns the space used by that table. However, the results returned by the stored procedure are not sortable, since the columns are character values.
The following script will generate the information I\'m looking for.
create table #TableSize (
Name varchar(255),
[rows] int,
reserved varchar(255),
data varchar(255),
index_size varchar(255),
unused varchar(255))
create table #ConvertedSizes (
Name varchar(255),
[rows] int,
reservedKb int,
dataKb int,
reservedIndexSize int,
reservedUnused int)
EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1=\"insert into #TableSize
EXEC sp_spaceused \'?\'\"
insert into #ConvertedSizes (Name, [rows], reservedKb, dataKb, reservedIndexSize, reservedUnused)
select name, [rows],
SUBSTRING(reserved, 0, LEN(reserved)-2),
SUBSTRING(data, 0, LEN(data)-2),
SUBSTRING(index_size, 0, LEN(index_size)-2),
SUBSTRING(unused, 0, LEN(unused)-2)
from #TableSize
select * from #ConvertedSizes
order by reservedKb desc
drop table #TableSize
drop table #ConvertedSizes
exec sp_spaceused N\'dbo.MyTable\'
For all tables ,use..(adding from the comments of Paul)
exec sp_MSForEachTable \'exec sp_spaceused [?]\'
Here is another method: using SQL Server Management Studio, in Object Explorer, go to your database and select Tables
Then open the Object Explorer Details (either by pressing F7 or going to View->Object Explorer Details). In the object explorer details page, right click on the column header and enable the columns that you would like to see in the page. You can sort the data by any column too.
Above queries are good for finding the amount of space used by the table (indexes included), but if you want to compare how much space is used by indexes on the table use this query:
SELECT
OBJECT_NAME(i.OBJECT_ID) AS TableName,
i.name AS IndexName,
i.index_id AS IndexID,
8 * SUM(a.used_pages) AS \'Indexsize(KB)\'
FROM
sys.indexes AS i JOIN
sys.partitions AS p ON p.OBJECT_ID = i.OBJECT_ID AND p.index_id = i.index_id JOIN
sys.allocation_units AS a ON a.container_id = p.partition_id
GROUP BY
i.OBJECT_ID,
i.index_id,
i.name
ORDER BY
OBJECT_NAME(i.OBJECT_ID),
i.index_id
If you need to calculate exactly the same numbers, that are on \'table properties - storage\' page in SSMS, you need to count them with the same method as it done in SSMS (works for sql server 2005 and above ... and also works correctly for tables with LOB fields - because just counting \"used_pages\" is not enought to show accurate index size):
;with cte as (
SELECT
t.name as TableName,
SUM (s.used_page_count) as used_pages_count,
SUM (CASE
WHEN (i.index_id < 2) THEN (in_row_data_page_count + lob_used_page_count + row_overflow_used_page_count)
ELSE lob_used_page_count + row_overflow_used_page_count
END) as pages
FROM sys.dm_db_partition_stats AS s
JOIN sys.tables AS t ON s.object_id = t.object_id
JOIN sys.indexes AS i ON i.[object_id] = t.[object_id] AND s.index_id = i.index_id
GROUP BY t.name
)
select
cte.TableName,
cast((cte.pages * 8.)/1024 as decimal(10,3)) as TableSizeInMB,
cast(((CASE WHEN cte.used_pages_count > cte.pages
THEN cte.used_pages_count - cte.pages
ELSE 0
END) * 8./1024) as decimal(10,3)) as IndexSizeInMB
from cte
order by 2 desc
We use table partitioning and had some trouble with the queries provided above due to duplicate records.
For those who need this, you can find below the query as run by SQL Server 2014 when generating the \"Disk usage by table\" report. I assume it also works with previous versions of SQL Server.
It works like a charm.

For get all table size in one database you can use this query :
Exec sys.sp_MSforeachtable \' sp_spaceused \"?\" \'
And you can change it to insert all of result into temp table and after that select from temp table.
Insert into #TempTable Exec sys.sp_MSforeachtable \' sp_spaceused \"?\" \'
Select * from #TempTable

Here is a way to get all tables\' sizes quickly with the following steps:
Write the given T-SQL commands to list all database tables:
select \'exec sp_spaceused \' + TABLE_NAME from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES where TABLE_TYPE = \'BASE TABLE\'
Now copy the list of database tables, and copy it into a new query analyzer window
exec sp_spaceused table1
exec sp_spaceused table2
exec sp_spaceused table3
exec sp_spaceused table4
exec sp_spaceused table5
In SQL query analyzer, select from top tool bar option Results to file (Ctrl + Shift + F).
Now finally hit the Execute button red marked from the above tool bar.
The Database size of all tables is now stored in a file on your computer.
My post is only relevant for SQL Server 2000 and has been tested to work in my environment.
This code accesses All possible databases of a single instance, not just a single database.
I use two temp tables to help collect the appropriate data and then dump the results into one \'Live\' table.
Returned data is: DatabaseName, DatabaseTableName, Rows (in the Table), data (size of the table in KB it would seem), entry data (I find this useful for knowing when I last ran the script).
Downfall to this code is the \'data\' field is not stored as an int (The chars \'KB\' are kept in that field), and that would be useful (but not totally necessary) for sorting.
Hopefully this code helps someone out there and saves them some time!
