Get the database size from the mysql console

Leave a reply

If you want to check the DB size before dump, login with mysql to the database and run:

  1.  
  2. SELECT table_schema "DB Name", sum( data_length + index_length ) / 1024 / 1024 "Data Base Size in MB"
  3. FROM information_schema.TABLES GROUP BY table_schema ;
  4.  

It would list all databases and their size in MB.

Thanks to the MySQL Forums for the tip.
