It didn't work..
It still sent an email but the email was blank because no jobs failed.
I hoping to avoid blank emails when no jobs fail.

Was this the only change you made?

I am trying to learn how to be a better tsql coder.

That and I moved this to the end:

Skip_Agent_Jobs:

IF OBJECT_ID (N'tempdb.dbo.#temp_sssr_agent_jobs', N'U') IS NOT NULL

BEGIN

DROP TABLE dbo.#temp_sssr_agent_jobs

END

GO

Here are two great books if you want:

They are really great. The Sam's one gave me my start many years ago, the other showed me a lot of great advanced stuff.

Hi,

thanks for sharing this procedure. I tried this on one of our servers and wondering about the reserved_mb metric in the fourth recordset about databases.

In this resultset there are several databases where the reserved_mb is greater than the total_size_mb? how can this be?

example:

total_size_mb: 8605

unallocated_mb: 0

reserved_mb: 12103

data_mb: 3692

index_mb: 1839

unused_mb: 6573

cached_mb: 1222

greetings

Marco

Unfortunately, without having access to your environment I cannot say for sure. What does it show if you run this on the database in question:

EXEC sp_spaceused

marcovomhau Mr or Mrs. 500 Points: 501 More actions · Answer 9

thanks for your quick reply.

here is the output of the sp_spaceused proc.

database_size unallocated space

------------------ ------------------

8605.13 MB 0.00 MB

reserved data index_size unused

Sounds weird. If you look at the BOL entry for sp_space_used in Remarks it states: "database_size will always be larger than the sum of reserved + unallocated space because it includes the size of log files, but reserved and unallocated_space consider only data pages."

Try running this satement in that database: EXEC sp_spaceused @updateusage = N'TRUE';

Thanks Lee. 🙂

marcovomhau Mr or Mrs. 500 Points: 501 More actions · Answer 12

executed

EXEC sp_spaceused @updateusage = N'TRUE';

and now the result looks much better

database_size unallocated space

------------------ ------------------

8605.13 MB 199.59 MB

reserved data index_size unused

------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------

turns out to be a good day today, because I have learned something 🙂

thanks lee.

@sean: maybe it it makes sense to use the updateuseage option in your procedure...

Lee Linares SSCrazy Points: 2723 More actions · Answer 13

That looks much better. I would disagree though about including the update usage option in Sean's code. Again from BOL: "updateusage can take some time to run on large tables or databases. Use updateusage only when you suspect incorrect values are being returned and when the process will not have an adverse effect on other users or processes in the database. "

Lee

Sean Smith SSCertifiable Points: 5950 More actions · Answer 14

I would have to agree with Lee on this one, just because of pressure it could put on the server.

I've been using your report quite happily for a while now on a SQL 2008R2 server but it just started failing with this error:

There is insufficient result space to convert a money value to varchar. [SQLSTATE 22003] (Error 234). The step failed.

Can you help?
