I am trying to get the growth rate of a set of databases held on my server, I have set them using the ALTER TABLE MODIFY FILE FUNCTION
I need to return them in a query so I can use in conditional formatting in SSRS to tell me if the growth rate I have set is adequate or if it needs increasing.

I have found a solution on line which i am going to try and use

SQL

SELECT
  name,
  size,
  growth,
  status,
  size * 8 AS size_in_kb,
  size * 8 / 1024. AS size_in_mb,
  CASE WHEN status & 0x100000 > 0
       THEN growth
       ELSE NULL END AS growth_in_percent,
  CASE WHEN status & 0x100000 = 0
       THEN growth * 8 / 1024. END AS growth_in_mb
FROM sysfiles

this only returns the iformation for master trying to change to accept other databases in a loop.
