I'm not sure about the question. An allbase dbe consist of many files, the dbcon file, datafiles, logs. AllbaseSql file codes dbe -491 = The DBECon file FL -493 = The DBEFile LG -497 = The LogFile select name, nrows from system.table; will provide the number of rows per table, provided an update statisitcs has been executed against the tables. The size of the dbefiles can be determine as follows; select fileid, dbefname, dbefsname, (dbefupages*100/dbefnpages) from system.dbefile order by fileid; (dbefupages*100/dbefnpages) column in the table in step 5 shows how full the table is (in percent). I hope this answers your question Best Regards Cathlene Mc Rae Sr HP Response Center Eng. * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
