Purpose: To list the size of all tables in the database in descending order (that is biggere tables first).
Output can be restricted to top n tables. That is you can pass the value 3 to @top parameter to
see the top 3 biggest tables in your database. Optionally, you can use @include_system_tables
parameter, to include systemt tables in the output.
NOTE: Always create this procedure in the master database and call it from the required databases,
as if the stored procedure is created in that database (That is, don't prefix the stored procedure
with the database name).

Examples:

To list all the user tables in the database along with their sizes:
EXEC sp_show_huge_tables

To see the top three biggest tables in your database:
EXEC sp_show_huge_tables 3

To list all the user AND system tables in the database along with their sizes:
EXEC sp_show_huge_tables @include_system_tables = 1


To see the top three biggest user or system tables in your database:
EXEC sp_show_huge_tables 3, 1
