Determine row size for table

Question

How to I determine the maximum row size for a table? I\'m looking for a tool or script that does this so I don\'t have to add up each column\'s size by hand.

My goal

Answer 1

Have a look at INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS. You can add the size of each column in a table to give you an idea which tables have the potential to overshoot the 8k/row rule.

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS 

You will figure out the rest when you see the query result.
