Hi All,
Does anyone have a script that I can use to determine the physical size a table would be based upon table schema, number of rows and fill factor?
This is for SQL 2005.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Austin

An existing table, or a hypothetical table?

Have you looked at the reports included in SP2 of SQL Server 2005? There are a series of reports having to do with table size, which should give you the ACTUAL information, and not just a guess/estimate of the size.

... and, to understand more about how that script works, please lookup "Estimating Table Size" in Books Online.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
