Checking memory (spaced) used, numbers of records in SQL Table

Problem: 

I was told in one of the project to give find the rate at which table is growing in terms of memory and number of records.

Solution: 

After bit research I found a stored procedure ‘sp_spaceused’. This procedure take table name as parameter and give you result of space and count used by tables. 

I stored this result in an table along with dates and executed query via job every week to track the increase. After 3 months i was able to answer the question that at what rate my fact tables is growing.

The best way to execute on all table is to use sp_msforeachtable stored procedure. 

sp_msforeachtable 'exec sp_spaceused [?]'

MSDN Reference Link: SP_SPACEUSED

Changing System Administrator Account of Master Data Services (MDS)

When you restore the MDS database from some other computer, may be from different domain or from different computer where your username is not present, you will get error on web site as “Access Denied”. Or you will not see the “User and Group Permissions” link.

Reason for this is that since you have restored the MDS database from different domain or computer you username might not be present as administrator on MDS database. Solution is to change the administrator by following the below steps.

Execute the following command to change the administrator

EXEC [mdm].[udpSecuritySetAdministrator] @UserName='USERNAME', @SID = 'SID', @PromoteNonAdmin = 1

Steps to get SID

Open PowerShell command line and type the following command

$AdObj = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("User or Group Name")

$AdObj.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier]).Value

After performing above steps you should be able to access the MDS web page as administrator.
