A database index size estimator calculates how much disk space database indexes will consume based on the number of rows, indexed column sizes, and index type. Indexes speed up queries but consume 20–100% of the table size in additional storage; over-indexing slows write performance.

Trin-for-trin guide

  1. 1Determine indexed columns
  2. 2Calculate bytes per index entry
  3. 3Project total index size

Løste eksempler

Input
1M rows, 3 indices, 8 bytes each
Resultat
~24MB total
Plus B-tree overhead

Almindelige fejl at undgå
