How to get size of a mysql database?
Suppose the target database is called "v3".
First login to MySQL using
mysql -u username -p
Command to Display the size of a single Database along with its table in MB.
SELECT table_name AS "Table",
ROUND(((data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024), 2) AS "Size (MB)"
FROM information_schema.TABLES
WHERE table_schema = "database_name"
ORDER BY (data_length + index_length) DESC;
Change database_name to your Database
Command to Display all the Databases with its size in MB.
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;
If you want the list of all database sizes sorted, you can use :
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT table_schema AS `DB Name`,
ROUND(SUM(data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024, 1) AS `DB Size in MB`
FROM information_schema.tables
GROUP BY `DB Name`) AS tmp_table
ORDER BY `DB Size in MB` DESC;
In addition: If someone wants to get the size of a single table please use the following codes:
SELECT
TABLE_NAME AS `Table Name`,
ROUND((DATA_LENGTH + INDEX_LENGTH) / 1024 / 1024) AS `Size ( in MB)`
FROM
information_schema.TABLES
WHERE
TABLE_SCHEMA = "your_db_name"
AND
TABLE_NAME = "your_single_table_name"
ORDER BY
(DATA_LENGTH + INDEX_LENGTH)
DESC;
Note: It won't show the fraction numbers for using the ROUND() method.
Hope this will help many of us.
