I am querying
select * from sys.master_filesin order to know the file sizes of my database files. I wonder what is their metrics of measurement? I mean Byte, KB, MB or GB?
Thanks for your time!

It's in 8KB pages, so multiply the number in the Size column by 8 and you'll have the size in KB.
See the documentation for that info and more: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/system-catalog-views/sys-master-files-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2016 - elea.grig - Thursday, August 23, 2018 6:48 AMI am querying

Thanks for your time!The size is in 8 K pages - they use that in other size specifications as well. You can usually find what they are using for things like that in the documentation.

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.
