I assume we are excluding system databases. I have included " copies" ... So prod, dr, test, dev = 4 databases ( or as in some cases
, 15 because of the number of dev and test copies).

Can you confirm the survey results are not linked to our login/profile? It does not apear to be however I have not logged off of SSC and then try to take the survey so our login info oculd be getting passed behind the scenes to the survey.

Thanks

If you are going to ask for statistics of any nature, can you plese be specific on what those statistics are based on ? e.g. "data sizes instead of raw database size", what does that mean exactly ?

the mdf file size in sql server ?
the mdf file size on the file system ?
the full backup file size on the file system ?

does that include the ldf file and the mdf file ?

Thanks

Only SQL Server database sizes? That's discrimination! BigGrin
