Improved ACS Partitions Query

  • Article

This has been sitting on my hard drive for a long time. Long story short, the report I posted at Permanent Link to Audit Collection Services Database Partitions Size Report had a couple of bugs:

  1. it did not consider the size of the dtString_XXX tables but only the size of dtEvent_XXX tables – this would still give you an idea of the trends, but it could lead to quite different SIZE calculations
  2. the query was failing on some instances that have been installed with the wrong (unsupported) Collation settings.

I fixed both bugs, but I don’t have a machine with SQL 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 anymore… so I can’t rebuild my report – but I don’t want to distribute one that only works on SQL 2008 because I know that SQL2005 is still out there. This is partially the reason that held this post back.

Without waiting so much longer, therefore, I decided I’ll just give you the fixed query. Enjoy Smile
