Query the size of all tables in Synapse Analytics - azure-synapse

Question

I want to be able to query and filter tables based on it's size
I already know sp_spaceused, but it shows the size for one table at a time

Answer 1

Here's that view adjusted to use sys.pdw_permanent_table_mappings as per the Synapse recommendation
SELECT two_part_name, SUM( row_count ) AS row_count, SUM( reserved_space_GB ) AS reserved_space_GB
FROM dbo.vTableSizes
GROUP BY two_part_name
ORDER BY reserved_space_GB DESC;
The view:
ALTER VIEW dbo.vTableSizes
AS
WITH base
AS
(
SELECT
GETDATE() AS [execution_time]
, DB_NAME() AS [database_name]
, s.name AS [schema_name]

The documented DMV queries allow you to get a report of all table sizes.
