How can you determine how much disk space a particular MySQL table is taking up?

Question

Is there a quick way to determine how much disk space a particular MySQL table is taking up? The table may be MyISAM or Innodb.

Answer 1

You could perhaps look at the size of the files...

Each table is stored in a couple of separate files inside a folder that is named whatever you called your database. These folders are stored within the mysql data directory.

From there you can do a 'du -sh .*' to get the size of the table on disk.
