Finding out largest tables on MySQL Server
Finding largest tables on MySQL instance is no brainier in MySQL 5.0+ thanks to Information Schema but I still wanted to post little query I use for the purpose so I can easily find it later, plus it is quite handy in a way it presents information:
SELECT concat(table_schema,'.',table_name),concat(round(table_rows/1000000,2),'M') rows, concat(round(data_length/(1024*1024*1024),2),'G') DATA, concat(round(index_length/(1024*1024*1024),2),'G') idx, concat(round((data_length+index_length)/(1024*1024*1024),2),'G') total_size, round(index_length/data_length,2) idxfrac FROM information_schema.TABLES ORDER BY data_length+index_length DESC LIMIT 10;
