mySQL table and DB sizes in

A colleague today asked me about size of a specific database on a dedicated database server for a shared hosting platform. So, in the spirit of sharing – I answered his question, wrote it down, and passed it on. Dull, obvious, but hey, aide mémoire for the win.

ALL DATABASES SIZES

SELECT table_schema AS “Database”, ROUND(SUM(data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024, 2) AS “Size (MB)” FROM information_schema.TABLES GROUP BY table_schema;

SIZE OF A SPECIFIC DATABASE

SELECT sum(round(((data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024 / 1024), 2)) as “Size in GB” FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE table_schema = “your_database_name“

SIZE OF TABLES WITHIN A GIVEN DATABASE

SELECT table_name AS “Table”, ROUND(((data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024), 2) AS “Size (MB)” FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE table_schema = “your_database_name” ORDER BY (data_length + index_length) DESC;
