How do I get the physical size of all individual indexes in a database.
Thanks in advance.Hello
There is a topic in SQL Books Online titled "Estimating the Size of a Table
with a Clustered Index" which explains the calculation that you can use to
calculate the approximate size of the clustered and non-clustered index for
a table.
If you want to check the actual size of an existing index, refer to the
Books Online topic on "sysindexes" table. The "dpages", "reserved" and
"used" fields indicate the number of 8K pages as explained in the help
topic. Also please note that you may have to perform DBCC UPDATEUSAGE to
get accurate numbers in these fields.
Thank you for using Microsoft newsgroups.

sp_spaceused do NOT get updated with each insert, update or delete. They may
be inaccurate. They OFTEN are inaccurate...
Use DBCC Updateusage
or sp_spaceused @.updateusage = true
to force SQL to read the data and update the size information...
