====== Check the size of all MySQL databases ====== The script below will get the sizes of all databases for a MySQL server. Make sure you "use" a database before you run the script. CREATE TABLE z_db_size SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA AS 'database_name', TABLE_NAME AS 'table_name', ((DATA_LENGTH + INDEX_LENGTH - DATA_FREE) / 1024 / 1024) AS size_in_mb FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES; Will create temporary table z_db_size select database_name, sum(size_in_mb) from z_db_size group by database_name order by sum(size_in_mb); Once report is captured, drop temporary table drop table z_db_size;
