Koen Verbeeck (3/20/2012)That is the space for the CREATE VIEW statement. That is stored in the sys.sql_modules catalog view. What I'm going after is that extra information is also stored in other catalog views. Not just the CREATE statement.

I chose the same "wrong" answer for the same reason. The question was explicit in excluding the CREATE, so it's a fair assumption that the other system tables are not excluded (or it should have said 'minimal space required for the system tables').
