Hi All ,

I need to calculate the my database total, used and frees size. I am using the below query :



SELECT Reserved_Space_gb,
  Reserved_Space_gb - Free_Space_gb Used_Space_gb,
  Free_Space_gb
FROM
  (SELECT
    (SELECT ROUND(SUM(bytes/(1014*1024*1024)),2)  FROM dba_data_files) Reserved_Space_gb,
    (SELECT ROUND(SUM(bytes/(1024*1024*1024)),2) FROM dba_free_space) Free_Space_gb
  FROM dual
  );

But as per my DBA Calculation was different. They are depending on the autoextensible parameter of table space.
Could any body please explain the significance autoextensible parametric to calculate the size of the database


Thanks
Revathi

First:
  (SELECT
    (SELECT ROUND(SUM(bytes/(1014*1024*1024)),2)  FROM dba_data_files) Reserved_Space_gb,
    (SELECT ROUND(SUM(bytes/(1024*1024*1024)),2) FROM dba_free_space) Free_Space_gb
  FROM dual
  );
is just
    (SELECT ROUND(SUM(bytes/(1014*1024*1024)),2) Reserved_Space_gb FROM dba_data_files),
    (SELECT ROUND(SUM(bytes/(1024*1024*1024)),2) Free_Space_gb FROM dba_free_space)
no need of this dual stuff.

AUTOEXTENSIBLE just means that the file may extend, at OS level, if space is needed; your query gives the allocated space of and used and free space in the database for the current size of the files.

Thanks for your explanation Michel

In order to derive the used space we went with DUAL query model.
So we can make use the BYTES always to calculate the allocated and free space available in the database irrespective of the AUTO EXTENSIBLE Parameter


Thanks once again

You don't need it, just replace as I suggested and you will see.
In general, never use SELECT cursor in SELECT clause unless you are an expert in SQL.

It depends on what you need or want or has been asked to you.
