Not in MySQL as such (unless I've missed something in the meantime). In Unix/Linux du -k /var/mysql/database_name (or wherever your database is located (*)) will get you the total size of all files for that database in kilobytes. (In Linux du -sh will produce an easier-to-read megabyte value if the total is = 1 MB). If MySQL is properly installed you will need root permissions to read the data directory. In Windows you can probably do something involving the mouse and some icon-thingies, or maybe a simple DIR at the command line. (*) If you are not sure, use the command SHOW VARIABLES or at the command line mysqladmin variables and look for 'datadir'.

Right-click on the MySQL database folder, selecting Properties. Under DOS, substitute your Unix command with DIR and look at the total at the end of the list, and use backslashes instead of forward slashes. Of course, you could do the icon-thingy with KDE, Gnome, etc. Frank. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

issue to see the current size of a mysql database (in kb or MB)?
If your intent is to get the size 'on the fly' from within a web page, you
can use the filesystem object. I use ChiliSoft ASP but the solution is the
approximately the same for IIS ASP:
Syntax for a function to return filesize (in JScript/ASP) is:
function ShowFileSize(filespec)
{
var fs, f, s;
fs = new ActiveXObject(Scripting.FileSystemObject);
f = fs.GetFile(filespec);
s = f.Name + uses + f.size + bytes.;
Response.Write(s);
}

Right-click on the MySQL database folder, selecting Properties. Under DOS, substitute your Unix command with DIR and look at the total at the end of the list, and use backslashes instead of forward slashes. And leaving out the command line switches. AFAIK the DOS DIR only shows totals in bytes (at least in NT4). Of course, you could do the icon-thingy with KDE, Gnome, etc. Yup, assuming the KDE, Gnome etc. user can read the database directory. Which means either the user is running an X-session as root (generally Not A Good Thing) or the directory rights have been changed to something other than a healthily paranoid 700.
