no.
You can do:
SELECT sum(length(Something)) FROM MyDB WHERE MyDB.Something LIKE 'this%'
But you will have to specify that for each field you want...then add them
all up to get the length.

Subject: Can I do this in a SELECT
I have a need for a SELECT query...
I don't really want any of the data from the select...
Rather I need the size of the data
basically I need
SELECT sum(length(*)) FROM MyDB WHERE MyDB.Something LIKE 'this%'
