Syntax

DBCC SQLPERF 
(    [ LOGSPACE ]
     |
          [ "sys.dm_os_latch_stats", CLEAR ]
     |
     [ "sys.dm_os_wait_stats", CLEAR ]
) 
     [WITH NO_INFOMSGS ]

Arguments

  • LOGSPACE
    Returns the current size of the transaction log and the percentage of log space used for each database. You can use this information to monitor the amount of space used in a transaction log.

  • "sys.dm_os_latch_stats" , CLEAR
    Resets the latch statistics. For more information, see sys.dm_os_latch_stats (Transact-SQL).

  • "sys.dm_os_wait_stats" , CLEAR
    Resets the wait statistics. For more information, see sys.dm_os_wait_stats (Transact-SQL).

  • WITH NO_INFOMSGS
    Suppresses all informational messages that have severity levels from 0 through 10.

Result Sets

The following table describes the columns in the result set.

Column name

Definition

Database Name

Name of the database for the log statistics displayed.

Log Size (MB)

Current size allocated to the log. This value is always smaller than the amount originally allocated for log space because the Database Engine reserves a small amount of disk space for internal header information.

Log Space Used (%)

Percentage of the log file currently occupied with transaction log information.

Status

Status of the log file. Always 0.

Remarks

The transaction log records each transaction made in a database. For more information see Introduction to Transaction Logs.

Permissions

To run DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE) requires VIEW SERVER STATE permission on the server. To reset wait and latch statistics requires ALTER SERVER STATE permission on the server.

Examples

A. Displaying log space information for all databases

The following example displays LOGSPACE information for all databases contained in the instance of SQL Server.

DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE);
GO

Here is the result set.

AdventureWorks 19.554688    17.748701          0

B. Resetting wait statistics

The following example resets the wait statistics for the instance of SQL Server.

DBCC SQLPERF("sys.dm_os_wait_stats",CLEAR);
