Author Estimating disk space needed...how???

Greetings,
I have never understood what's Microsoft's formula for figuring out the
required amount of space needed knowing how many rows you have and how many
bytes are there per row?
For example,
If you have a table that has 20 rows and every row has 1024 bytes in it, how
do you know the
amount of disk space required for the table?
Anybody knows?


Thanks,
The help is much appreciated!!
PP

Pablo,

Refer the topic 'Estimating the Size of a Table' in BooksOnLine.
