Finding Basic Table Information via T-SQL

Andy Brownsword has a script for us:

In Management Studio we can view object details by hitting F7 in Object Explorer. It gives us basic metrics but I find it very slow to load for the details I typically need.

For that reason I though I’d share a script to turn to for metrics I commonly need. This query returns:

  • The table details (schema, name, created date)
  • The primary storage (Heap, Clustered, or Columnstore)
  • The numbmer of Nonclustered / Columnstore Indexes
  • The number of records and rough size for data / indexes

Click through for the script and an example of what it looks like.
