I have a table with an image (blob) column in it. How can I query the system tables to see what proportion of the size of the table is taken up by the blobs versus the other columns? |

[code]SELECT OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID) tbl, alloc_unit_type_desc, SUM(page_count) pagesFROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats(DB_ID(),NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL)GROUP BY OBJECT_ID, alloc_unit_type_descORDER BY 1, 2[/code]IN_ROW_DATA represents normal data, ROW_OVERFLOW_DATA and LOB_DATA hold the blob data. You can find more detail here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189051.aspxIt may not be 100% accurate but it should be close. |
