Database Question

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm currently setting up a database for my company's intranet page and I began wondering about how large the hard drive should be.  After looking around for a while I was unable to find the amount of space my database was taking up on the server's hard drive.  Is there a way to see how much space my current database is taking up?  And how much space do database's take up?  Is a gig enough space for a database that could have over 1,000,000 records, or should I plan on more?

If you have phpMyAdmin it gives you a breakdown of each table and how much space is taken up and a total on the bottom for everything combined.

The amount of space depends on what you are holding in the database. What kind of information are you holding? But I think 1 gig should be enough.
