This code pulls out the biggest tables in your system and returns a result set. Copy and paste the result set into query analyser and execute - This returns Showcontig information about your top tables, biggest first. Change the top 5 for whatever number you want. Also handy for DBCC dbreindex. Simple but pretty useful....... select top 5 'dbcc showcontig(' + cast(id as nvarchar(20)) + ')' + char(10) + 'print '' '''+ char(10) from sysindexes where indid = 1 or indid = 0 order by rows desc Petew
