MySQL - How to get the database size in MySQL?

From query editor, run this query:

SELECT
    table_schema AS 'DB Name',
    ROUND(SUM(data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024, 1) AS 'DB Size in MB'
FROM
    information_schema.tables
GROUP BY
    table_schema;

It will return the size of each database from the current connection.

If you want to get the size of only one database instead of the entire connection, insert WHERE into the statement:

SELECT
    table_schema AS 'DB Name',
    ROUND(SUM(data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024, 1) AS 'DB Size in MB'
FROM
    information_schema.tables
WHERE
    table_schema = 'db_name'
GROUP BY
    table_schema;
