As a DBA I expect all submitted code to be commented.
The comments should detail up front which tables are going to be used, what variables if any are declared and...

Do you mean the physical size of the database or the amount of data within the database?
If you use sp_helpfile within your database this will give you the files used...

I've had situations where I have had to use cursors.

Cursors are there...
