SQL Server: sp_spaceused for accurate disk space information of Database

This article is half-done without your Comment! *** Please share your thoughts via Comment ***

In this post, I am sharing a simple use of sp_spaceused system stored procedure of SQL Server.

Most of the SQL Server professional already knew about this system stored procedure, but I am going to tell about the @updateusage parameter of sp_spaceused.

Sometimes, sp_spaceused is not giving updated/accurate space information of database/objects. In that case, we have to use sp_spaceused with @updateusage parameter.

The @updateusage parameter will ensure that returned value is updated and accurate.

Check the space information of a database:

1
2
sp_spaceused
@updateusage = 'TRUE'

Check the space information of a table:
It will also return the space information of table indexes.

1
2
3
sp_spaceused
@objname = 'table_name'
,@updateusage = 'TRUE'
