Can Anyone guide me as to how to check the Data file growth over the period of time.

How to check Which are the transactions causing uneven growth?

Thanks all.

Here's what I use and wrote to track database growth: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2008/12/16/How-to-track-database-growth-across-multiple-SQL-Server-instances.aspx

And here is my tool featured in a SQL Server Magazine article in case you want to know if it's reputable or not: http://www.sqlmag.com/Article/ArticleID/102370/sql_server_102370.html

It's only featured in the web version of SQL Server Magazine and not the print version.

Thanks Tara.

Do I need to execute the CLR related in each of my servers prior to making this executed.

Do I need execute from my development server on securing connections to my production links?

1. No, you just need to create the CLR object on one central system and then you call the object on that central system for each of the systems you want to track. I store the systems I want to track into a table and then loop through that table for each call. I believe I show this in the blog.
2. It can be created on any one system that has access to all of the systems you want to track.
