The size of all tables in the database can be obtained by using a SQL query in the database management system, for example:
SQL:
SELECT t.NAME AS TableName, s.Name AS SchemaName, p.rows, SUM(a.total_pages) * 8 AS TotalSpaceKB, CAST(ROUND(((SUM(a.total_pages) * 8) / 1024.00), 2) AS NUMERIC(36, 2)) AS TotalSpaceMB, SUM(a.used_pages) * 8 AS UsedSpaceKB, CAST(ROUND(((SUM(a.used_pages) * 8) / 1024.00), 2) AS NUMERIC(36, 2)) AS UsedSpaceMB, (SUM(a.total_pages) - SUM(a.used_pages)) * 8 AS UnusedSpaceKB, CAST(ROUND(((SUM(a.total_pages) - SUM(a.used_pages)) * 8) / 1024.00, 2) AS NUMERIC(36, 2)) AS UnusedSpaceMB FROM sys.tables t INNER JOIN sys.indexes i ON t.OBJECT_ID = i.object_id INNER JOIN sys.partitions p ON i.object_id = p.OBJECT_ID AND i.index_id = p.index_id INNER JOIN sys.allocation_units a ON p.partition_id = a.container_id LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.schemas s ON t.schema_id = s.schema_id WHERE t.NAME NOT LIKE 'dt%' AND t.is_ms_shipped = 0 AND i.OBJECT_ID > 255 GROUP BY t.Name, s.Name, p.Rows ORDER BY TotalSpaceMB DESC, t.Name
MYSQL:
SELECT table_name AS "Table", round(((data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024), 2) "Size (MB)" FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE table_schema = "database_name";
PostgreSQL:
SELECT table_name, pg_total_relation_size(table_name) / 1024 / 1024 as size_mb FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema = 'public';
Note: Replace “database_name” with the name of your database.
ORACLE:
SELECT table_name, round(sum(bytes) / (1024 * 1024), 2) "Size (MB)" FROM user_segments GROUP BY table_name;
Note: The above query assumes that you are querying for tables in the user’s schema. If you want to query for tables in a different schema, replace “user_segments” with “all_segments” and “user_name” with the name of the desired schema.
