How To Find the Size Of a Maximizer Database
There are multiple ways of finding the size of an existing Maximizer database. This information is useful if you are moving to a new server; or migrating from an On-Premise installation to Maximizer CRM Live.
Here are some of the ways to check the size of your database:
- Using SSMS you can enable object explorer detail from Edit or View menu; and click on the database name; it will show you the database size in the right hand section.
- You can go to the default data location folder for your SQL server and right click on the properties of your .mdf folder and .ldf folder to see the size
- You can run the following query against your database in SQL server
SELECT
database_name = DB_NAME(database_id)
; log_size_mb = CAST(SUM(CASE WHEN type_desc = 'LOG' THEN size END) * 8. / 1024 AS DECIMAL(8;2))
; row_size_mb = CAST(SUM(CASE WHEN type_desc = 'ROWS' THEN size END) * 8. / 1024 AS DECIMAL(8;2))
; total_size_mb = CAST(SUM(size) * 8. / 1024 AS DECIMAL(8;2))
FROM sys.master_files WITH(NOWAIT)
WHERE database_id = DB_ID() -- for current db
GROUP BY database_id
