TOP N Biggest Tables in every database

  • Artikel

Sometime it may be useful to find all the big tables in all databases.

There may be performance issue on the system and it can be necessary to move some tables to another disk to decrease the disk latency. So additional File Groups and Files can be created and some of those big tables can be moved to those File Groups using create index or alter index command.

But How those big tables can be found easily?

The script below can be used to identify the big tables. It can be create as a stored procedure with parameters so database name or object name can be passed as a parameter.

The result can be saved in a history table and it will be good to see the increase rate for each table

--in_row_data_page_count 
--If the partition is part of a heap, the value is the number of data pages in the heap. 
--If the partition is part of an index, the value is the number of pages in the leaf level. 
--Nonleaf pages in the B-tree are not included in the count.
--IAM (Index Allocation Map) pages are not included in either case.

--in_row_used_page_count 
--Total number of pages in use to store and manage the in-row data in this partition. 
--This count includes nonleaf B-tree pages, IAM pages, and all pages included in the in_row_data_page_count column.

--used_page_count
--Total number of pages used for the partition. 
--Computed as in_row_used_page_count + lob_used_page_count + row_overflow_used_page_count.
