DBCC SQLPERF
Provides statistics about the use of transaction-log space in all databases.
Syntax
DBCC SQLPERF ( LOGSPACE )
Remarks
The transaction log accumulates information about changes to data in each database. The information returned by DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE) can be used to monitor the amount of space used and indicates when to back up or truncate the transaction log.
Result Sets
This 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) | The actual amount of space available for the log. This amount is smaller than the amount originally allocated for log space because Microsoft® SQL Server™ 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 contains 0). |
Permissions
DBCC SQLPERF permissions default to any user.
Examples
This example displays LOGSPACE information for all databases currently installed.
