Volumetrics in a Data Model
You can use volumetrics in a data model to calculate the size of tables, indexes, and physical storage objects in your database. When you calculate database size and growth, you can:
- Forecast hardware requirements.
- Evaluate the implications of database growth.
- Create what if scenarios based on server, physical object, column, and table settings.
You can select any table and calculate its approximate size according to the initial state or projected growth. After you calculate all table sizes in your database, you can calculate the approximate size of the entire database. When estimating the size of a database table, the data types that are native to the DBMS you are using are considered.
