    Hi
    I have this db growth script which i put together but i dont think its working well. Can somebody look at it or have a better script?

    select to_char(creation_time, 'RRRR Month') "Month",
    sum(bytes)/1024/1024 "Growth in Meg"
    from sys.v_$datafile
    where creation_time > SYSDATE-365
    group by to_char(creation_time, 'RRRR Month')
    ;
    IT ONLY SHOWS ME DATA thru 2002 Jan.

    V$datafile will not tell you the growth of the database.

    You need to query from dba_extents.

    This script only shows you the cummulative size of newly added datafiles per month in the last year. For the months where there have been no datafiles added there is no row in the report.

    So obviously there have been no new datafiles added since February2002 (as there has not been also in September 2001).

    Can you help me write it? I really wanna do the following:
    tell me the growth of the database in months. How much it grew in megs each month until today and total size as of today
    "High Salaries = Happiness = Project Success."

    For the size of your database as of today at a glance (nothing fancy)
    you can
    1/ SQL> select sum(bytes)/1024/1024 from dba_data_files;


    2/SQL> select sum(bytes)/1024/1024 from dba_FREE_Space;

    then:
    SQL> select (value1) - (value2) from dual;


    or simply:

    SQL> select sum(bytes)/1024/1024 from dba_extents;

    All in Megs
