    I've came up with the idea about how is database sizing done.

    I've read the information provided by Microsoft on its website (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175991.aspx) about how to make estimations about sizing, but the information on this article supposes that the number of rows that will be present in the tables is already known.

    What about if I don't know what will be the exact number of rows that will hold the table?

    Event though I coulde use a simple estimate ,this could take to some errors about a minor or bigger estimation.

    So I ask you guys, how could I handle this approach for an estimation?

    What about running databases, how can estimate future growth?

    Thank you.
