I am using SQL Server 2000. How can I tell how much free space is
available within a particular filegroup? What query can I run to get
this information?
Thanks,
Greg

The used space in a file group in MB:

SELECT SUM(reserved)*8192/1000000 FROM sysindexes
WHERE indid IN (0, 1)
AND groupid = filegroup_id('YOURGROUP')

The total space available in a file group in MB:

SELECT SUM(size)*8192/1000000 FROM sysindexes
WHERE groupid = filegroup_id('YOURGROUP')
