Find largest table in a SQL Server database Monitoring table size over time is very important to the SQL Server Engine. In performance point of view to run queries. At the most optimal and avoid performance issues due to larger table size as it important factor in SQL Server performance There are often many times people ask, how to find the largest tables/objects in a database, so below scripts, will determine which objects in a database are largest. SELECT t.name AS TableName, i.name as indexName, sum(p.rows) as RowCounts, sum(a.total_pages) as TotalPages, sum(a.used_pages) as UsedPages, sum(a.data_pages) as DataPages, (sum(a.total_pages) * 8) / 1024 as TotalSpaceMB, (sum(a.used_pages) * 8) / 1024 as UsedSpaceMB, (sum(a.data_pages) * 8) / 1024 as DataSpaceMB FROM sys.tables t INNER JOIN sys.indexes i ON t.object_id = i.object_id INNER JOIN sys.partitions p ON i.object_id = p.object_id AND i.index_id = p.index_id INNER JOIN sys.allocation_units a ON p.partition_id = a.container_id WHERE t.name NOT LIKE 'dt%' AND i.object_id > 255 AND i.index_id <= 1 GROUP BY t.name, i.object_id, i.index_id, i.name ORDER BY TotalSpaceMB DESC

Distinct after grouping by

Vikash

I have below query as

WITH search_agg as(
SELECT user_id, count(search_id) as count_search
FROM search
WHERE date>current_date -interval '7 days'
GROUP BY user_id
HAVING count_search>10)

SELECT count (distinct user_id)
FROM search_agg

If am correct, I don't need distinct in my outer query since my group by takes care of that correct? or is it better practice to have distinct anyway? Thanks
