General: Database Size

This home-level workspace report provides graphical illustration of the database size at the time of the last poll. Placing this workspace report in a workspace will allow you to view your database size quickly, even from across the room.

The graph uses color to show the current status:

Red. Above 75%

Yellow. Between 50% and 75%

Green. 50% or less

Under the graph, the database size is listed in MBs, along with the percentages for used and free space.

Note:These graphs will only show for MSDE databases, as SQL databases have no size limitations.
