Run this query and you'll probably get what you're looking for:

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

This query comes from the mysql forums, where there are more comprehensive instructions available.

It can be determined by using following MySQL command

SELECT table_schema AS "Database", SUM(data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024 AS "Size (MB)" FROM information_schema.TABLES GROUP BY table_schema 

Result

Database Size (MB) db1 11.75678253 db2 9.53125000 test 50.78547382 

Get result in GB

SELECT table_schema AS "Database", SUM(data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 AS "Size (GB)" FROM information_schema.TABLES GROUP BY table_schema 

Alternatively, if you are using phpMyAdmin, you can take a look at the sum of the table sizes in the footer of your database structure tab. The actual database size may be slightly over this size, however it appears to be consistent with the table_schema method mentioned above.

Screen-shot :

Alternatively you can directly jump into data directory and check for combined size of v3.myd, v3. myi and v3. frm files (for myisam) or v3.idb & v3.frm (for innodb).

To get a result in MB:

SELECT SUM(ROUND(((DATA_LENGTH + INDEX_LENGTH) / 1024 / 1024), 2)) AS "SIZE IN MB" FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = "SCHEMA-NAME"; 

To get a result in GB:

SELECT SUM(ROUND(((DATA_LENGTH + INDEX_LENGTH) / 1024 / 1024 / 1024), 2)) AS "SIZE IN GB" FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = "SCHEMA-NAME";

If not installed, this can be installed by installing the mysql-utils package which should be packaged by most major distributions.

First login to MySQL using

mysql -u username -p

Command to Display the size of a single Database along with its table in MB.

SELECT table_name AS "Table", ROUND(((data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024), 2) AS "Size (MB)" FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE table_schema = "database_name" ORDER BY (data_length + index_length) DESC; 

Change database_name to your Database

Command to Display all the Databases with its size in MB.

SELECT table_schema AS "Database", ROUND(SUM(data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024, 2) AS "Size (MB)" FROM information_schema.TABLES GROUP BY table_schema; 

If you want the list of all database sizes sorted, you can use :

SELECT * FROM (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 `DB Name`) AS tmp_table ORDER BY `DB Size in MB` DESC; 

Go into the mysql data directory and run du -h --max-depth=1 | grep databasename
