Query to get all database name in SQL Server?


I am looking at this article Query in Sql server to list all stored procedures in all databases which give all stored procedures name in all database, so I would like to know SQL query to list all databases of an SQL Instance. As I would be allowing users to show list of databases in Front-end, to select and then get all stored procedures of the database.

To get list of all database using query in SQL Server, use below query

SELECT name FROM master.sys.databases

You will see output like below

If you want list all sql server database name with there size, you can execute query below

    SELECT      sys.databases.name,  
                CONVERT(VARCHAR,SUM(size)*8/1024)+' MB' AS [Total disk space]  
    FROM        sys.databases   
    JOIN        sys.master_files  
    ON          sys.databases.database_id=sys.master_files.database_id  
    GROUP BY    sys.databases.name  
    ORDER BY    sys.databases.name  

Which will give you both database name and there size, as shown below

Another query to list of all database excluding non-user database

SELECT name FROM master.sys.databases WHERE name NOT IN ('master', 'tempdb', 'model', 'msdb');

Above query will exclude database name like "master", "tempdb" etc, which aren't created by user.
