Walt, Jeremy, the undo logs (= rollback segments) in the tablespace generally take much less space than the inserted rows. Thus it is best just to look with SHOW TABLE STATUS what is the available free space. I think in Oracle rollback segments use a lot more space than in InnoDB.
However, if there are lots of updates, and the user has a dangling uncommitted consistent read to the database for a long time, then the size of the undo logs may become significant also in InnoDB. I have to consider adding the size info to the InnoDB Monitor.
