Sure. First you need to figure out where MySQL is storing your data files. You can find the value of "datadir" in the output of SHOW VARIABLES. In that directory, you'll see a sub-directory for each database. And each MyIAM table is composed of three files: table.MYI - indexes table.MYD - data table.frm - table definition Find out how large your various indexs are by doing something like: du -sk *.MYI Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
