Sometimes tempdb is filling up. Sometimes I just want to monitor the amount of tempdb and check out execution plans of heavy tempdb users while watching performance on a server.
This script comes in handy more frequently than I would have thought before I started using it.
- This script returns space used in tempdb only, regardless of the db context it’s run in, and it only works for tempdb
- I adapted this from the SQL Server Storage Engine Blog.
