Earlier I wrote blog article SQL SERVER – Finding Last Backup Time for All Database. In the response of this article I have received very interesting script from SQL Server Expert Matteo as a comment in the blog. He has written script using sys.databases which provides plenty of the information about database.
I suggest you can run this on your database and know unknown of your databases as well.
SELECT database_id,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(25), DB.name) AS dbName,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), DATABASEPROPERTYEX(name, 'status')) AS [Status],

(SELECT COUNT(1) FROM sys.master_files WHERE DB_NAME(database_id) = DB.name AND type_desc = 'rows') AS DataFiles,
(SELECT SUM((size*8)/1024) FROM sys.master_files WHERE DB_NAME(database_id) = DB.name AND type_desc = 'rows') AS [Data MB],
(SELECT COUNT(1) FROM sys.master_files WHERE DB_NAME(database_id) = DB.name AND type_desc = 'log') AS LogFiles,
(SELECT SUM((size*8)/1024) FROM sys.master_files WHERE DB_NAME(database_id) = DB.name AND type_desc = 'log') AS [Log MB],
user_access_desc AS [User access],
recovery_model_desc AS [Recovery model],

Please let me know if you find this information useful.
