Getting Per-Table Space Utilization With Powershell

Drew Furgiuele provides us a script and a homework assignment:

Of course, PowerShell excels at this. By using the SQL Server module, it’s really easy to:

  • Connect to an instance and collect every user database, and
  • From each database, collect every table, and
  • For each table, collect row counts and space used, and
  • If there are any indexes, group them, and sum their usage and report that as well

Here’s the script. Note that I have the server name hard-coded in there as localhost (more on that in a coming paragraph). Go ahead and take a look before we break it down.

Click through for the script, and homework is due next Tuesday on his desk.
