An interesting approach to application design begins with some knowledge of the metadata about the underlying data structures and using this to drive the application's behavior. New author Jim Craddock has utilized just such a concept in one if his applications and he brings us a look at how this works.

How many times have you had to estimate space for a new SQL Server database? How much time did you spend on it? Was it a thumb-in-the-wind guess or did you actually examine a schema and calculate some values. If you have asked someone to estimate the space their database will need, they probably guess more than compute, but now Andre Vigneau gives us an easy way we can teach those developers to put some thought into the process.
