BUG# NT: 10248 (6.00) 17145 (6.50)



SYMPTOMS
SQL Enterprise Manager can sometimes show an incorrect amount of space used and/or available for a given database in the Manage Databases dialog. The error is more obvious in a database containing several large non-clustered indexes.



CAUSE
The query used to determine the amount of space used in the database is double-counting the used pages for non-clustered indexes.



WORKAROUND
Use the sp_spaceused stored procedure to determine the amount of space used and/or available in a given database.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server versions 6.0 and 6.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
