I need to find out how much disk space occupied by a given table. How to see it? Suppose i have a table called tb1. Suppose it is currently using 1000 2kb pages. Then table size should be given as 2000kb.

To add to Jonathan's comment if the table does not store data in blob spaces or smart blob spaces then the oncheck -pt command will give the required information. Look at the "Pagesize" and "Number of pages allocated" information for each fragment.

You can also get this information in SQL with a query such as:

select sum(pagesize * nptotal)
from sysmaster:sysptnhdr
where partnum in
( select partnum from systables
  where tabname = '<table name>'
  union
  select partn from sysfragments f, systables t
  where f.tabid = t.tabid
  and t.tabname = '<table name>' );
