OK, but then if I use
SQLTemplate select = new SQLTemplate(Artist.class, "show table status");
List artists = dataContext.performQuery(select);
Surely I will have Artist objects, and will only be able to use that
classes defined "getters and setters"? i.e. How will I extract data from
columns: data_length and index_length?
Thanks

In this case it is needed to pick the right database (Cayenne
potentially can access more than one). You can use an arbitrary class
from your model in this case.

Thanks for the reply, but all the SQLTemplates on that page require a
class/table to refer to (all the examples are for Artist.class). The
MySQL command "show table status" doesn't apply to any particular
class...

You'll want to call setFetchingDataRows(true) on your SQLTemplate
object, too, otherwise Cayenne will try to make CayenneDataObjects out
of it. Do this before you run performQuery().

Hi all, in my project I need to extract the total db size(kb). Im using
Cayenne 1.2.3 and MySQL and I found the SQL command "show table status
from <db name>" which displays a table of information about all of the
tables in a certain db. This table has columns like "Name"(of table),
"Data_length" and "Index_length", and apparently the best way to
extract
the size(kb) of a db is to sum the Data_length and Index_length columns
of this table.
Does anyone know how I can get the results of this query into java?
Many Thanks
Jack
