SQL Server - Find the Database File Size and Log File Size

17 September,2012 by Tom Collins

A quick way to to find the Database File Size and Log File Size, by querying the sys.master_files.size column.

The sys.master_files.size column returns the file size in 8 KB pages.  Therefore some division is required to calculate in MB and GB.

If the sys.master_files = ROWS it’s a data file . If the sys.master_files = LOGS it’s a log file .

 

select db_name(database_id) as dbname,
type_desc,(size * 8) /1024 as size_MB,
(size * 8) /1024/1024 as size_GB 
from sys.master_files order by name
