Purpose: To calulate the file growth percentages for a given database and to show you the rate at which your databases are growing, so that you can plan ahead for your future storage needs.

Once it is created, you could run it from any of your user databases. If the first parameter (database name) is not specified, the procedure will use the current database. Example 1: To see the file growth information of the current database: EXEC sp_track_db_growth Example 2: To see the file growth information for pubs database: EXEC sp_track_db_growth 'pubs' ***********************************************************************************************************/ DECLARE @dbname sysname /* Work with current database if a database name is not specified */ SET @dbname = COALESCE(@dbnameParam, DB_NAME()) SELECT CONVERT(char, backup_start_date, 111) AS [Date], --yyyy/mm/dd format CONVERT(char, backup_start_date, 108) AS [Time], @dbname AS [Database Name], [filegroup_name] AS [Filegroup Name], logical_name AS [Logical Filename], physical_name AS [Physical Filename], CONVERT(numeric(9,2),file_size/1048576) AS [File Size (MB)], Growth AS [Growth Percentage (%)] FROM ( SELECT b.backup_start_date, a.backup_set_id, a.file_size, a.logical_name, a.[filegroup_name], a.physical_name, ( SELECT CONVERT(numeric(5,2),((a.file_size * 100.00)/i1.file_size)-100) FROM msdb.dbo.backupfile i1 WHERE i1.backup_set_id = ( SELECT MAX(i2.backup_set_id) FROM msdb.dbo.backupfile i2 JOIN msdb.dbo.backupset i3 ON i2.backup_set_id = i3.backup_set_id WHERE i2.backup_set_id < a.backup_set_id AND i2.file_type='D' AND i3.database_name = @dbname AND i2.logical_name = a.logical_name AND i2.logical_name = i1.logical_name AND i3.type = 'D' ) AND i1.file_type = 'D' ) AS Growth FROM msdb.dbo.backupfile a JOIN msdb.dbo.backupset b ON a.backup_set_id = b.backup_set_id WHERE b.database_name = @dbname AND a.file_type = 'D' AND b.type = 'D' ) as Derived WHERE (Growth <> 0.0) OR (Growth IS NULL) ORDER BY logical_name, [Date] END
