Calculating the Size of Your SQL Azure Database

In Episode 3 of Cloud Cover, I mentioned the tip of the week was how to measure your database size in SQL Azure.  Here is the exact queries you can run to do it:

select
      sum(reserved_page_count) * 8.0 / 1024
from
      sys.dm_db_partition_stats
GO

select
      sys.objects.name, sum(reserved_page_count) * 8.0 / 1024
from
      sys.dm_db_partition_stats, sys.objects
where
      sys.dm_db_partition_stats.object_id = sys.objects.object_id

group by sys.objects.name

The first one will give you the size of your database in MB and the second one will do the same, but break it out for each object in your database.

Hat tip to David Robinson and Tony Petrossian on the SQL Azure team for the query.
