Getting the total size taken by a MySQL database

Getting the total size taken by a MySQL database

Last updated:

Just run this query:

SELECT table_schema "Data Base Name",
sum( data_length + index_length ) / 1024 /
1024 "Data Base Size in MB",
sum( data_free )/ 1024 / 1024 "Free Space in MB"
FROM information_schema.TABLES
GROUP BY table_schema ; 

and you'll get a result like this:

+--------------------+----------------------+------------------+
| Data Base Name     | Data Base Size in MB | Free Space in MB |
+--------------------+----------------------+------------------+
| my_database        |        1485.25000000 |   75858.00000000 |
| information_schema |           0.00878906 |       0.00000000 |
| mysql              |           0.85281849 |       0.09124756 |
| performance_schema |           0.00000000 |       0.00000000 |
+--------------------+----------------------+------------------+
