Introduction

In this article, I will explain how to get the actual data table size in SQL Server-2008. To do this we need to use a system stored procedure named "sp_spaceused".

Syntax

sp_spaceused  'Table_Name'

where,

sp_spaceused displays the number of rows, disc space reserved.
Table_Name specifies the table name whose space is to be displayed.

Example

1. To get the table size of table named "Employee".
