    Get table size in MySQL

    Published Jan 09, 2022 [  MySQL  ]

    Like most relational databases, MySQL provides useful metadata about the database itself. While most other databases refer to this information as a catalog, the official MySQL documentation refers to the INFORMATION_SCHEMA metadata as tables.

    List Table Sizes From a Single Database

    • DATA_LENGTH is the length (or size) of all data in the table (in bytes).
    • INDEX_LENGTH is the length (or size) of the index file for the table (also in bytes).

    Size of All Tables

    SELECT
      TABLE_NAME AS `Table`,
      ROUND((DATA_LENGTH + INDEX_LENGTH) / 1024 / 1024) AS `Size (MB)`
    FROM
      information_schema.TABLES
    WHERE
      TABLE_SCHEMA = "bookstore"
    ORDER BY
      (DATA_LENGTH + INDEX_LENGTH)
    DESC;
    
    +----------------------------------+-----------+
    | Table                            | Size (MB) |
    +----------------------------------+-----------+
    | book                             |       267 |
    | author                           |        39 |
    | post                             |        27 |
    | cache                            |        24 |
    

    Size of A Single Table

    SELECT
      TABLE_NAME AS `Table`,
      ROUND((DATA_LENGTH + INDEX_LENGTH) / 1024 / 1024) AS `Size (MB)`
    FROM
      information_schema.TABLES
    WHERE
        TABLE_SCHEMA = "bookstore"
      AND
        TABLE_NAME = "book"
    ORDER BY
      (DATA_LENGTH + INDEX_LENGTH)
    DESC;
    
    +-------+-----------+
    | Table | Size (MB) |
    +-------+-----------+
    | book  |       267 |
    +-------+-----------+
    1 row in set (0.00 sec)
    

    List All Table Sizes From ALL Databases

    SELECT
      TABLE_SCHEMA AS `Database`,
      TABLE_NAME AS `Table`,
      ROUND((DATA_LENGTH + INDEX_LENGTH) / 1024 / 1024) AS `Size (MB)`
    FROM
      information_schema.TABLES
    ORDER BY
      (DATA_LENGTH + INDEX_LENGTH)
    DESC;
