QUESTION::LAKEHOUSE::SQL ENDPOINT::SYSTEM VIEWS
Hi Element115 ,
Run the following two commands in Notebook to calculate the table size in lakehouse.
The first command contains the table size in byte, my table is smaller, replace the products table with your own when using it.
%%sql DESCRIBE DETAIL delta.`Tables/products`The second command converts byte to GB, replacing 3213 with your own after running the first command.
size_in_bytes = 3213 # byte swtich GB size_in_gb = size_in_bytes / (1024 ** 3) print(f “Table ‘products’ size: {size_in_gb:.8f} GB”)Best Regards,

OK so what is the best way to find the total size in GB of one or more tables if we cannot query system views?
