Calculate Table & Schema size in SQL Server

Calculate Table & Schema size in SQL Server :

Keeping watch on database size, drive size, table size, index size etc. are few of the primary duty of DBA. I have already written few articles to cover this type of subject, for example:

Keep watch on your disk size

Keep watch on your database size

Calculate size of index

Today I am going to introduce two more TSQL Script which covers the size of each Table and size of each Schema in your SQL Server database. I used to have log of table size for each date so that I can compare the growth of table for future disk & other resource planning. It is really very mandatory for DBA to know the actual size of each table along with total number or rows available in that table, in order to make operation smooth and successful.

I have two TSQL Scripts which I use for getting an alert. You can set either of these scripts in SQL Server Job to get alert, or log data coming from these scripts, every day, in one table and use that table for future reference while taking any hardware related decision.
