Re: Mysql 5.5 memory issues.

    concat(tot,' GB') as total,
    if(engine is null,-1,tot) as ord
  from (
    select   
      engine,  
      round( sum(data_length)/1024/1024/1024, 2 ) as data,  
      round( sum(index_length)/1024/1024/1024, 2 ) as indexes,  
      round( sum(data_length+index_length)/1024/1024/1024, 2 ) as tot
