    What is row length of table?

    is that mean the size of the row?

    It's sum of the lenght of the fields in a row in bytes. It's not however the actual size of each of row, as that depends on other things besides the filed lenght.

  • This script does not consider the row overhead involved over variable columns, nullable columns and bit columns. I believe ( not tested though) about calculated columns were also not considered here.

    Other than these issues, this script will give the sum of all bytes needs for the row itself.
