How to get size of mysql database?

Question

How to get size of a mysql database?
Suppose the target database is called \"v3\".

Answer 1

To get a result in MB:

SELECT
SUM(ROUND(((DATA_LENGTH + INDEX_LENGTH) / 1024 / 1024), 2)) AS "SIZE IN MB"
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE
TABLE_SCHEMA = "SCHEMA-NAME";

To get a result in GB:

SELECT
SUM(ROUND(((DATA_LENGTH + INDEX_LENGTH) / 1024 / 1024 / 1024), 2)) AS "SIZE IN GB"
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE
TABLE_SCHEMA = "SCHEMA-NAME";

Answer 2

mysqldiskusage  --server=root:MyPassword@localhost  pics

+----------+----------------+
| db_name  |         total  |
+----------+----------------+
| pics     | 1,179,131,029  |
+----------+----------------+

If not installed, this can be installed by installing the mysql-utils package which should be packaged by most major distributions.

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;
