Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: DB Size
A good question for a friday afternoon before a bank-holiday weekend...
Query the data dictionary to get the names and locations of the data files:
select file_name, tablespace_name, bytes from dba_data_files;
That will give you the size of all the files for data, indexes, rollback segments, the temporary area, the system tablespace, etc. There are other bits it won't tell you about (Config files, online redologs, archived logs) but they're another story.
This doesn't tell you how much of that space actually has data in it if that's what you meant, just how much space things are taking on the disks. What all these numbers actually mean is a much longer and more difficult question, best left 'till next week.
