How to Get True Size of MySQL Database?
From S. Prakash, found at the MySQL forum:
SELECT table_schema "database name", sum( data_length + index_length ) / 1024 / 1024 "database size in MB", sum( data_free )/ 1024 / 1024 "free space in MB"FROM information_schema.TABLESGROUP BY table_schema; Or in a single line for easier copy-pasting:
SELECT table_schema "database name", sum( data_length + index_length ) / 1024 / 1024 "database size in MB", sum( data_free )/ 1024 / 1024 "free space in MB" FROM information_schema.TABLES GROUP BY table_schema;
