Hi All,

i have a database of 2 TB and i am running some DMV's (sys.dm_db_missing_index_group_stats, sys.dm_db_missing_index_groups, sys.dm_db_missing_index_details) ...Just selects from those DMV's. I know its a stupid question...does my select queries increase the space of the databases? I know its just Views..but since they are the DMV's, i wanted to make sure those views does not increase the space.

Select queries take up zero space.
