I needed to quickly report on what articles are being replicated from a database yesterday. It was helpful to include the size of the articles, number of rows, and the subscriber information.
The system tables make this pretty quick work.
Run the following against your publisher and you’ll be able to document this easily.
select
publicationName= sp.name
, tableType=case p.index_id when 1 then 'Clustered Index' else 'Heap' end
, p.index_id
, articleName=ar.name
, sub.srvname
, ar.dest_table
, totalSizeGB = cast(sum(au.total_pages)*8./1024./1024. as numeric(10,1))
, numRows = (select top 1 [rows] from sys.partitions p2 where p2.object_id=o.object_id and p2.index_id in (0,1))
, createDate= o.create_date
, modifyDate= o.modify_date
, droppedGB = cast(sum(case au.[type] when 0 then au.total_pages else 0 end)*8./1024./1024. as numeric(10,1))
, inRowGB = cast(sum(case au.[type] when 1 then au.total_pages else 0 end)*8./1024./1024. as numeric(10,1))
, LOBGB = cast(sum(case au.[type] when 2 then au.total_pages else 0 end)*8./1024./1024. as numeric (10,1))
, rowOverflowGB = cast(sum(case au.[type] when 3 then au.total_pages else 0 end)*8./1024./1024. as numeric(10,1))
