How to know the amount of megabites a table use have used?

Halo

I'm revising my database right now and want to make a more compact database.

Therefore I want to know, whether it is possible to find out how much mega bites that each table used in my database.

so i can review and delete the big allocated tables.

Help me please hehehe :p

Best Regards

I don't believe that data is available.

That's probably because it's not separated so neatly inside the DB.
Space is allocated dynamically to various tables in different orders.

You could look at the 'Compact and Repair Database...' option under Tools / Database Utilities.

I suppose if you really wanted to know you could :-

1. Create a new, empty DB and note its size on disk.
2. Import the table you're curious about into the new DB.
3. Check its size again and, with a little arithmetic, work out the difference.

This, by and large, should be a reflection of the size that this particular table takes up in the DB.
