If I have basic files for my databases (no file groups) and I execute fn_virtualfilesatats() against all databases, the data that is  returned is cumulative from what point?  The last checkpoint/log flush/instace restart?  It would help me get a grip on the databases at my new job until I can get anaylsys services implemented and run your excellent solution. But first I have to  move all of the databases to  new sql2005 servers and test the apps against them.They have never had a full time DBA so I have a ton of work to do but need some basic insight into what are my busiest databases so I can better load balance when moving them to the new servers.  Management has no idea what activity is occuring on what database so I cant wait to get your solution implemented.  Unfortunately, I am limited on time and prirorities.  They are pushing to get everything moved over but I am holding out until I can benchmark the new servers with sqlio and find what databases are doing what so I know where  to put them....pretty basic stuff....your assistance in helping me understand the output I am getting would be appreciatedhere is a sample attached.</description><pubDate>Tue, 10 Jun 2008 10:07:29 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>phoenixrising1599</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Utilizing fn_virtualfilestats</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic8508-75-1.aspx</link><description>Good article, but A+ on using OLAP. We need more OLAP content, so if you have other ideas?! I'd love to see a follow up that uses data mining to do some deeper analysis.Andyhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/awarren/</description><pubDate>Thu, 05 Dec 2002 17:26:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Andy Warren</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Utilizing fn_virtualfilestats</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic8508-75-1.aspx</link><description>No probs, thanks for the feedback. </description><pubDate>Thu, 05 Dec 2002 15:34:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>ckempste</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Utilizing fn_virtualfilestats</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic8508-75-1.aspx</link><description>I implemented your code on on of my systems and followed your article to produce the same graphs that you created, and it proved to be a breakthrough in communictaion with some of my managers. Excellent article. </description><pubDate>Thu, 05 Dec 2002 13:56:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Scorpion_66</dc:creator></item><item><title>Utilizing fn_virtualfilestats</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic8508-75-1.aspx</link><description>Comments posted to this topic are about the content posted at &lt;A HREF=http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/ckempster/filestatsexample.asp&gt;http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/ckempster/filestatsexample.asp&lt;/A&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 30 Nov 2002 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>ckempste</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
