In this post, I am sharing a script for checking the newly allocated pages to the table of SQL Server.

The use of this script is in very rare condition. If you are doing deep work like monitoring allocation and space management, you will need this kind of script.

For example, If you are doing bulk load, data page allocation should be in sequence for better performance. You can use this script for comparing page allocation before and after of Bulk load activity.

Below is a script:

SELECT 
	OBJECT_NAME(p.object_id) AS object_name
	,i.name AS index_name
	,ps.in_row_used_page_count
FROM sys.dm_db_partition_stats ps
JOIN sys.partitions p
       ON ps.partition_id = p.partition_id
JOIN sys.indexes i
       ON p.index_id = i.index_id
       AND p.object_id = i.object_id
