MySQL - Get size of table
Get the Size of all tables in a database select table_name, round(((data_length + index_length) / (1024*1024)),2) as 'size in megs' from information_schema.tables where table_schema = 'the_name_of_my_db'; Get the Size of a specific table in a database select table_name, round(((data_length + index_length) / (1024*1024)),2) as 'size in megs' from information_schema.tables where table_schema = 'the_name_of_my_db' AND table_name = 'the_name_of_my_table'; The name "table_schema" is a bit misleading, in fact you have to specify the database name .
