Understanding Database Size sp_spaceused / select name,filename, size from sys files
Can someone explain what I'm looking at here?
Using Windows Explorer: My .mdf file is 4,894,656 Kb
Using Windows Explorer: My log.ldf file is 1,024 kb
Running select name, filename, size from sysfiles I get:
.mdf 611,832 (what is this size? ...mb?)
log.ldf 128 (what is this size?)
Running sp_spaceused
database size 4780.94 mb
unallocated 3656.52 mb
reserved 1150384 kb
data 862776 kb
index size 274608 kb
unused 13000 kb

Hi jamesh1031,
Run
sp_spaceused @updateusage = 'TRUE'
and again check sp_spaceused
remember 1MB = 1024 KB

I don't have many permissions...what will @update='TRUE' do?
By the way, I don't think either one of you addressed my question.

Sometimes, if you drop some indexes, sql server wont update the sysnindexes table, in order to do update the index information in sysindexes table run the above or dbcc updateusage ('urdbdb') WITH COUNT_ROWS
