Question

Is it possible to list information about the files (MDF/LDF) of all databases on an SQL Server?

I\'d like to get a list showing which database is using what files on th

Answer 1

Executing following sql (It will only work when you don't have multiple mdf/ldf files for same database)

SELECT
    db.name AS DBName,
    (select mf.Physical_Name FROM sys.master_files mf where mf.type_desc = 'ROWS' and db.database_id = mf.database_id ) as DataFile,
    (select mf.Physical_Name FROM sys.master_files mf where mf.type_desc = 'LOG' and db.database_id = mf.database_id ) as LogFile
FROM sys.databases db

will return this output

DBName       DataFile                     LogFile
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
master       C:\....\master.mdf           C:\....\mastlog.ldf
tempdb       C:\....\tempdb.mdf           C:\....\templog.ldf
model        C:\....\model.mdf            C:\....\modellog.ldf

and rest of the databases

If your TempDB's have multiple MDF's (like mine have), this script will fail. However, you can use

WHERE db.database_id > 4

at the end and it will return all databases except system databases.
