Table size

[Former Member]

Is there a table which stores the size attribute of other tables? I'm looking to query with a list of table names and get their total size in bytes.

HI,

Check the table DD09L.

Refer table DD09L for table size details of other tables.

Hi Chris

DBSTATTORA is the table to store Actual size of tables on the database.

DBSTATTORA does not appear to be populated on our system.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but does this not just show you the size category? Is there nothing more precise?

Hi,

TABKAT is the field for size category....in DD09L table.

Can get it from DBA_SEGMENTS table at the Database level.

Check this:

DATA: BEGIN OF SIZE OCCURS 0,
          KB LIKE SEGMENTS_S-KBYTES,
          BL LIKE SEGMENTS_S-BLOCKS,
        END OF SIZE.

EXEC SQL.
    SELECT SUM(BYTES)/1024, SUM(BLOCKS) FROM DBA_SEGMENTS
                          WHERE SEGMENT_NAME = 'MARA'
                           INTO :SIZE
ENDEXEC.

LOOP AT SIZE.
  WRITE:/ SIZE-KB, SIZE-BL.
ENDLOOP.

Hi Mahesh

This appears to be the kind of solution I'm looking for, however your code short dumps for me for some reason. We are using MSSQL.

Chris,

I've Oracle database at the back-end , and this query is working well.

thanks\

Upon further investigation I've discovered the MSSQL stored procedure sp_spaceused, however I'm unsure as to how I would execute this in an abap program. I've read up on executing procedures in native SQL, ie:

EXEC SQL
   EXECUTE PROCEDURE proc1 ( IN :x, OUT :y )
ENDEXEC.

But i'm still unsure of the exact syntax to use for the sp_spacedused procedure in order to print the size out in an abap program: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188776.aspx

Hi Rammohan,

what does field OCCBL (Used blocks of a table in KB) in table DBSTATTORA means. Is this the complete size of the table in KB?

Hi,

You can use the function module

"DB_GET_TABLE_SIZE"

to get the size fo each table.

This FM will give you the size of the table in KBs. (kilo bytes)

Hope this will help you.

Hello Smartsvarghese,

thats what I`ve been looking for. But could you explain the Import Parameters of the FM, especially "LIMIT_KB". Is it necessary to fill all parameters?

Hi Tobias,

Check this.

CALL FUNCTION 'DB_GET_TABLE_SIZE'

EXPORTING

tabname = MARA or AFVC or RESB ( as per your requirement )

• LIMIT_KB = 16384 ( not mandatory )

• PRID = 0 ( not mandatory )

• SELECT_COUNT = ' ' ( not mandatory )

IMPORTING

SIZE_KB = v_size ( this one type I )

EXCEPTIONS

WRONG_SCHEMA = 1

NO_OF_POOLS_EXCEEDED = 2

OP_FAILURE = 3

OTHERS = 4

.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Hope this will help you.

Hello Smartsvarghese,

this sounds good, but when I am executing the function module without maintaining the attribute LIMIT-KB I get no values.

I have entered the following parameters:

TABNAME: TCURR

LIMIT_KB: (no entry)

PRID: (no entry)

SELECT_COUNT: (no entry)

My result is:

SIZE_KB: 1

REAL_SIZE: (no entry)

ROWCOUNT: -1

SUBRC: 1

If the field LIMIT_KB is filled with the value of 50.000, I get the following result:

SIZE_KB: 35.895

REAL_SIZE: X

ROWCOUNT: 706.861

SUBRC: 0

First, what went wrong in the first case, if the field LIMIT_KB is not mandatory? And second, do I understand the result of case two correct: The table TCURR has a real size of 35.895 KB and contains 706.861 data records?

Tobias
