Thanks for your unique point of view - it works like a charm ... will be added to my bag of "tricks"
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

This is what I use, however it would need to be modified to insert into a table if you wanted to select against it.
sp_msforeachdb 'use ?;exec sp_spaceused'
cheers,
Andrew

That's how I used to do it too Andrew, and that is actually the reason why I wrote this View. Besides being undocumented, sp_msForEachDB encapsulates a cursor to accomplish its magic, which carries along with it all of the limitations and problems of a cursor.
I wanted something that could be used
anywhere
in SQL Server and that means a View. So I did essentially what you suggest: I looked at how sp_spaceused works and then extended it to a Select in order to build the View.

I always like a query that gets down and dirty with system tables ;)! Nice. But I'm not sure occasionally cursoring through a few hundred tables is really that much of a chore for SQL Server! It's the counting that takes the time! Still, it's always nice to complete these challenges we set ourselves!

Nice script Barry. Is there one that will work on 2000?

I believe that this can be made to work on SQL 2000, Jack. But I would need some time on one of the few SQL 2000 systems that I still have access to, to work it out...

Very nice, I too will add it to my toolkit. Especially love getting the schema details. I tried writing one to work with AdventureWorks which has multiple schemas, and got one to work, but no where near as elegant as your script.
