I think the second part of part 2 is in error; I think it should be like this:

--Else
IF Exists (Select t.DBName, g.DBName from #TempDBSize2 t
left outer join DBGrowthRate g on T.dbname = g.DBName where g.dbname is null)
Begin
Insert into dbo.DBGrowthRate (DBName, DBID, NumPages, OrigSize, CurSize, GrowthAmt, MetricDate)
(Select tds.DBName, tds.database_ID, Sum(tds.Size) as NumPages,
Convert(decimal(10,2),(((Sum(Convert(decimal(10,2),tds.Size)) * 8000)/1024)/1024)) as OrigSize,
Convert(decimal(10,2),(((Sum(Convert(decimal(10,2),tds.Size)) * 8000)/1024)/1024)) as CurSize,
'0.00 MB' as GrowthAmt, GetDate() as MetricDate
from #TempDBSize2 tds
where tds.database_ID not in (Select Distinct DBID from DBGrowthRate
where DBName = tds.DBName)
Group by tds.database_ID, tds.DBName)
End

This will do the trick for a newly added database.

I modified the script to do what I want and it is working well for me. This is for SQL 2000; you can get it to work with SQL 2005 with a minor tweak of the sys tables.

--Part1

CREATE TABLE [DBGrowthRate] (
[DBGrowthID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[DBName] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[DBID] [int] NULL ,
[OrigSize] [decimal](10, 2) NULL ,
[CurSize] [decimal](10, 2) NULL ,
[GrowthAmt] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[InitialDate] [datetime] NULL ,
[ReportDate] [datetime] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_ReportDate] DEFAULT (getdate())
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

--PART 2
--Below is the code run weekly to check the growth.

create Proc usp_DBGrowthRate

AS

Select sd.name as DBName, af.dbid, Sum(af.Size) as NumPages, Convert(decimal(10,2),(Sum(Convert(decimal(10,2),af.Size)) * 8)/1024) as CurSize
into #TempDBSize
from master..sysdatabases sd
join master..sysaltfiles af
on sd.dbid = af.dbid
Group by af.dbid, sd.name
Order by sd.name, af.dbid

If Exists (Select Distinct DBName from #TempDBSize where DBName in (Select Distinct DBName from DBGrowthRate))
and Convert(varchar(10),GetDate(),101) > (Select Distinct Convert(varchar(10),Max(InitialDate),101) as InitialDate from DBGrowthRate)
Begin
update dgr
set dgr.CurSize = tds.Cursize
from DBGrowthRate dgr inner join #TempDBSize tds on tds.DBID = dgr.DBID

update dgr
set dgr.GrowthAmt = tds.CurSize - dgr.OrigSize
from DBGrowthRate dgr inner join #TempDBSize tds on tds.DBID = dgr.DBID

update DBGrowthRate
set ReportDate = GetDate()
End
Else
IF Exists (Select Distinct DBName from #TempDBSize where DBName not in (Select Distinct DBName from DBGrowthRate))
Begin
Insert into dbo.DBGrowthRate (DBName, DBID,OrigSize, CurSize, GrowthAmt, InitialDate)
(Select tds.DBName, tds.dbid,
tds.CurSize,
tds.CurSize,
'0.00 MB', GetDate()
from #TempDBSize tds
where tds.dbid not in (Select Distinct DBID from DBGrowthRate dgr where dgr.DBID = tds.DBID)
)
End

DROP TABLE #TempDBSize

GO

for SQL 2000 by changing sys.Master_Files to sysaltfiles and sys.databases to sysdatabases. Make sure to change your column names appropriately if you make this alteration!

What do you mean by Make sure to change your column names appropriately if you make this alteration!

Sorry new at this

The original script worked for me. I had to, of course, change the size of my database; so I delete a significant amount of history, did a full backup and ran the script again.

Everything worked fine from what I could tell.

Worked great for me. Especially w/ the recommended changes for 2000/2005

Thanks a bunch....

All SQL Folks...

The original script has MAJOR error....

--In PART2 --- where it runs to update the growth table...it tries to convert the DATE to CHAR...and then compares with GetDATE() -- which is not correct.

--- I have corrected the script...BELOW>..replace the script code with Following for your EXISTS condition....This works good for SQL 2000....Change your EXISTS condition accordingly for 2005 script too..

-PART 2 -- CORRECTED EXISTS Section below...Replace on original script. Wink

...
...
If Exists (Select Distinct DBName from #TempDBSize2
where DBName in (Select Distinct DBName from DBGrowthRate))
and GetDate() > (Select Distinct Max(MetricDate) from DBGrowthRate)

How do you get it to insert rather than update? I want to keep track of the changes in size weekly...

All...

I have corrected the code..As it has flaws dealing with date comparison...And hence you are not getting the GROWTH amount on weekly runs...

Here is the UPDATED code (works for 2005, 2008)....Also, I have converted the GrowthAMT to Numeric (instead of VARCHAR), --- Allowing you to export the results in EXCEL for further number crunching

Let me know if this works for your environments.

--PART 1 (UPDATED, Jignesh Rajgor 08/25/2009)
If exists (Select name from sys.objects where name = 'DBGrowthRate' and Type = 'U')
Drop Table dbo.DBGrowthRate

Create Table dbo.DBGrowthRate (DBGrowthID int identity(1,1), DBName varchar(100), DBID int,

Order by mf.database_id, sd.name

Insert into dbo.DBGrowthRate (DBName, DBID, NumPages, OrigSize, CurSize, GrowthAmt, MetricDate)
(Select tds.DBName, tds.database_ID, Sum(tds.Size) as NumPages,
Convert(decimal(10,2),(((Sum(Convert(decimal(10,2),tds.Size)) * 8000)/1024)/1024)) as OrigSize,
Convert(decimal(10,2),(((Sum(Convert(decimal(10,2),tds.Size)) * 8000)/1024)/1024)) as CurSize,
0 as GrowthAmt, GetDate() as MetricDate
from #TempDBSize tds

Group by tds.database_ID, tds.DBName,dgr.CurSize, dgr.OrigSize)
End

--Select *
--from DBGrowthRate
----Verifies values were entered
