Thanks for the Azure SQL Database version. Getting my arms around 320 databases for base lining has been interesting so far.

Hi Glenn, love your queries, always help me a lot. For your tempdb file query for sql server 2014 the query doesnt return anything, following the query in question;

— Get number of data files in tempdb database (Query 25) (Tempdb Data Files)
EXEC sys.xp_readerrorlog 0, 1, N’The tempdb database has’;

I believe this is because the SQL Server log has been deleted. anyway I used the following query which returns a lot more information about the tempdb and is not dependant on the sql server logs being there.

Exec Tempdb.dbo.sp_helpfile

In reply to Tony Fountain. That is an excellent idea, Tony! I'd be all for something like that as it takes a lot of manual work out of the equation!

Glenn, would you be interested if the execution of each script section where automated through PowerShell, and the results automatically dumped into a SpreadSheet? I’ve been using these queries for quite a while now and automating through PoSH can save a huge amount of time. Let me know your thoughts, and I don’t mind writing the scripts and providing those to you.
