Some Useful SQL queries

I have compiled below some SQL queries that I have been using regularly. I can't take credit for writing all of them, though.

/*get size and free space in a database*/
SELECT DB_NAME() AS DbName,
name AS FileName,
size/128.0 AS CurrentSizeMB,
size/128.0 - CAST(FILEPROPERTY(name, 'SpaceUsed') AS INT)/128.0 AS FreeSpaceMB
FROM sys.database_files;

/*Get size of the database.*/
SELECT DB_NAME(database_id) AS DatabaseName,
Name AS Logical_Name,
Physical_Name, (size*8)/1024 SizeMB
FROM sys.master_files
GO

/*Find which processes are blocking on the Sql Server.*/
select * from master.dbo.sysprocesses (nolock) where blocked 0 and spid blocked
Execute DBCC inputbuffer

/*Find blocking SPID*/
select distinct object_name(a.rsc_objid), a.req_spid, b.loginame
from master.dbo.syslockinfo a (nolock) join
master.dbo.sysprocesses b (nolock) on a.req_spid=b.spid
where object_name(a.rsc_objid) is not null

/*Disable All SQL Server Agent Jobs*/
USE MSDB;
GO
UPDATE MSDB.dbo.sysjobs
SET Enabled = 0
WHERE Enabled = 1;
GO

/*Enable All SQL Server Agent Jobs*/
USE MSDB;
GO
UPDATE MSDB.dbo.sysjobs
SET Enabled = 1
WHERE Enabled = 0;
GO

/*Disable Jobs By Job Name*/
USE MSDB;
GO
UPDATE MSDB.dbo.sysjobs
SET Enabled = 0
WHERE [Name] LIKE '%Jobname%';
GO

/*Disable Jobs By Job Category*/
USE MSDB;
GO
UPDATE J
SET J.Enabled = 0
FROM MSDB.dbo.sysjobs J
INNER JOIN MSDB.dbo.syscategories C
ON J.category_id = C.category_id
WHERE C.[Name] = 'Database Maintenance';
GO


/*Find out SQL version in SQL 2000 and above.*/
SELECT 'SQL Server '
+ CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('productversion') AS VARCHAR) + ' - '
+ CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('productlevel') AS VARCHAR) + ' ('
+ CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('edition') AS VARCHAR) + ')'

/*Find out version of sql in 2008.*/
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')


/*Mirror is failed and cannot drop database. Database shows in recovery mode. Refer the following link: */
http://www.sqlnewsgroups.net/sqlserver/t20474-database-mirroring-problems-cant-drop-database.aspx

alter database dbname set partner off
drop database dbname

/*update statistics on all the tables:*/
Exec sp_MSForEachtable 'UPDATE STATISTICS ? WITH FULLSCAN'
GO

/*Get the table having the biggest,largest,huge size:*/

USE DBNAME
GO
CREATE TABLE #temp (
table_name sysname ,
row_count INT,
reserved_size VARCHAR(50),
data_size VARCHAR(50),
index_size VARCHAR(50),
unused_size VARCHAR(50))
SET NOCOUNT ON
INSERT #temp
EXEC sp_msforeachtable 'sp_spaceused ''?'''
SELECT a.table_name,
a.row_count,
COUNT (*) AS col_count,
a.data_size
FROM #temp a
INNER JOIN information_schema.columns b
ON a.table_name collate database_default
= b.table_name collate database_default
GROUP BY a.table_name, a.row_count, a.data_size
ORDER BY CAST(REPLACE(a.data_size, ' KB', '') AS integer) DESC
DROP TABLE #temp

/*Another query for largest tables*/

-- Create a cursor to loop through the user tables
declare c_tables cursor for
select id
from sysobjects
where xtype = 'U'

open c_tables

fetch next from c_tables
into @id

while @@fetch_status = 0
begin

/* Code from sp_spaceused */
insert into #spt_space (objid, reserved)
select objid = @id, sum(reserved)
from sysindexes
where indid in (0, 1, 255)
and id = @id

select @pages = sum(dpages)
from sysindexes
where indid < 2
and id = @id
select @pages = @pages + isnull(sum(used), 0)
from sysindexes
where indid = 255
and id = @id
update #spt_space
set data = @pages
where objid = @id


/* index: sum(used) where indid in (0, 1, 255) - data */
update #spt_space
set indexp = (select sum(used)
from sysindexes
where indid in (0, 1, 255)
and id = @id)
- data
where objid = @id

/* unused: sum(reserved) - sum(used) where indid in (0, 1, 255) */
update #spt_space
set unused = reserved
- (select sum(used)
from sysindexes
where indid in (0, 1, 255)
and id = @id)
where objid = @id

update #spt_space
set rows = i.rows
from sysindexes i
where i.indid = 0)
BEGIN
--Dump the results of the sp_spaceused query to the temp table
INSERT #TempTable
EXEC sp_spaceused @TableName

--Get the next table name
FETCH NEXT FROM tableCursor INTO @TableName
END

--Get rid of the cursor
CLOSE tableCursor
DEALLOCATE tableCursor

--Select all records so we can use the reults
SELECT *
FROM #TempTable

--Final cleanup!
DROP TABLE #TempTable

GO
The above is the actual stored procedure, this must be created first then you simply call this one procedure to get the list of tables and sizes. At the bottom of this article you will find a zip file available for download that will include this script file.

Usage

Now to get the table sizes for the current database you can simply run the following command.

EXEC GetAllTableSizes
The results of this procedure execution will show you the number of rows and physical sizes of each user defined table in your database.

Prior to SQL Server 2005, blocking could be detected using the sp_blocker_pss80 stored procedure, sp_who2, Perfmon and SQL Profiler. However, SQL Server 2005 has added some important new tools that adds to this toolkit. These tools include:
•Enhanced System Monitor counters (Perfmon)
•DMV's: sys.dm_os_wait_stats, sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks and sys.dm_tran_locks
•Blocked Process Report in SQL Trace
•SQLDiag Utility
