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

I would just use 'mysqldiskusage' tool as follow

$ mysqldiskusage --server=user:password@localhost mydbname
# Source on localhost: ... connected.

# Database totals:
+------------+----------------+
| db_name    |         total  |
+------------+----------------+
| mydbaname  | 5,403,033,600  |
+------------+----------------+

Total database disk usage = 5,403,033,600 bytes or 5.03 GB
