mysql 查看表数据量

数据库中有几十上百张表，那么哪些表的数据量比较大呢，总不能一个表一个表的去查询吧，在mysql中也有类似于oracle的数据字典表，只不过mysql没有oracle记录的那么多和详细，但也足够我们查询这些信息了。

在mysql的[color=red]information_schema[/color]下有存储数据库基本信息的数据字典表，[color=blue]可以通过查询tables表来获得所需要的表相关信息。[/color]

mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
|mysql             |
|report            |
| report_result      |
|test              |
+--------------------+
5 rows in set (0.02 sec)

mysql> use information_schema;
Database changed
mysql> show tables;
+---------------------------------------+
|Tables_in_information_schema         |
+---------------------------------------+
|CHARACTER_SETS                       |
|COLLATIONS                           |
| COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY |
|COLUMNS                              |
|COLUMN_PRIVILEGES                    |
|KEY_COLUMN_USAGE                     |
|PROFILING                            |
|ROUTINES                             |
|SCHEMATA                             |
|SCHEMA_PRIVILEGES                    |
|STATISTICS                           |
|TABLES                               |
|TABLE_CONSTRAINTS                    |
|TABLE_PRIVILEGES                     |
|TRIGGERS                             |
|USER_PRIVILEGES                      |
|VIEWS                                |
+---------------------------------------+
17 rows in set (0.00 sec)

那么我们查看一下talbes表结构信息，看看存储的具体信息

mysql> desc tables;
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field           |Type         | Null | Key | Default |Extra |
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| TABLE_CATALOG   | varchar(512) | YES |     | NULL   |       |
| TABLE_SCHEMA    | varchar(64)  | NO  |     |        |       |
| TABLE_NAME      | varchar(64)  | NO  |     |        |       |
| TABLE_TYPE      | varchar(64)  | NO  |     |        |       |
| ENGINE          |varchar(64)  | YES  |     |NULL    |       |
| VERSION         |bigint(21)   | YES  |     |NULL    |       |
| ROW_FORMAT      | varchar(10)  | YES |     | NULL   |       |
| TABLE_ROWS      | bigint(21)   | YES |     | NULL   |       |
| AVG_ROW_LENGTH  | bigint(21)   | YES |     | NULL   |       |
| DATA_LENGTH     | bigint(21)   | YES |     | NULL   |       |
| MAX_DATA_LENGTH | bigint(21)   | YES |     | NULL   |       |
| INDEX_LENGTH    | bigint(21)   | YES |     | NULL   |       |
| DATA_FREE       | bigint(21)   |YES  |     | NULL   |       |
| AUTO_INCREMENT  | bigint(21)   | YES |     | NULL   |       |
| CREATE_TIME     | datetime     |YES  |     | NULL   |       |
| UPDATE_TIME     | datetime     |YES  |     | NULL   |       |
| CHECK_TIME      | datetime     |YES  |     | NULL   |       |
| TABLE_COLLATION | varchar(64)  | YES  |     |NULL    |       |
| CHECKSUM        | bigint(21)   |YES  |     | NULL   |       |
| CREATE_OPTIONS  | varchar(255) | YES  |     |NULL    |       |
| TABLE_COMMENT   | varchar(80)  | NO  |     |        |       |
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
21 rows in set (0.00 sec)

主要存储了表的信息如表使用的引擎，表的类型等信息。[color=red]我们可以通过查询table_rows属性获得哪些表数据量比较大。[/color]

mysql> select table_name,table_rows from  tables order by table_rows desc limi 10;

+---------------+------------+

| table_name    |table_rows |

+---------------+------------+

| task6        |    1558845 |

| task         |    1554399 |

| task5        |    1539009 |

| task3        |    1532169 |

| task1        |    1531143 |

| task2        |    1531143 |

| task4        |    1521225 |

| task7        |     980865 |

我们继续深入思考，这些存储的数据是否准确，是否真实的反应了表中数据量大小？

mysql> show create table tables \G;

*************************** 1. row***************************

看到上面红色的字体了吧，[color=red]information_schema下的表tables是内存表[/color]，数据库启动的时候，会读取分析各表中数据，然后填充tables表。如果某些表更新频繁，而来不及更新tables表的时候，tables中存储的数据就不一定准确了，这会影响到执行计划的分析，索引在执行计划的时候，[color=blue]可以analyze表，然后确保存储的信息准确。[/color]
