wp db size has always reported data_length + index_length as a single number, so there was no way to tell how much of a database is taken up by indexes. On a fresh WordPress install the indexes are already more than twice the size of the data:
$ wp db size --fields=Name,Data,Index,Size
+---------------+------------+------------+------------+
| Name | Data | Index | Size |
+---------------+------------+------------+------------+
| wp_mysql_test | 196608 B | 475136 B | 671744 B |
+---------------+------------+------------+------------+
Changes
Optional Data and Index fields. As suggested in the issue discussion, Size keeps reporting the total for backwards compatibility, and the breakdown is opt-in through a new --fields argument (Name and Size remain the default):
$ wp db size --fields=Name,Data,Index,Size --human-readable
+-------------------+---------+--------+---------+
| Name | Data | Index | Size |
+-------------------+---------+--------+---------+
| wordpress_default | 3.43 GB | 2.8 GB | 6.23 GB |
+-------------------+---------+--------+---------+
For MySQL and MariaDB this needs no extra queries: the existing information_schema.TABLES query now selects the two sums separately instead of adding them up in SQL. For SQLite the index size comes from the sqlite_master entries belonging to a table; the per-database breakdown is only queried when one of the two fields is requested, so the default output keeps working where the dbstat extension is unavailable.
SQLite table sizes now include indexes.SELECT SUM(pgsize) FROM dbstat WHERE name = ? only covers a table's own b-tree, so wp db size --tables under-reported every table and disagreed with what the same command reports for MySQL. Summing the table's indexes on top makes the two backends consistent, and the sum of all tables much closer to the database size. This changes the numbers --tables prints for SQLite installations.
The database size for SQLite is still the size of the database file, which also covers overhead such as free pages, so there Data + Index does not add up to Size. That is documented in the command description.
Rounding.--human-readable rounded to whole units, which is what turned 6.23 GB into 7 GB in the issue report. It now defaults to two decimals, still overridable with --decimals. A value that rounds up into the next size format is now displayed in that size format, so 999,999,999 bytes reads as 1 GB rather than 1000 MB, and sizes past the largest known format no longer fall back to bytes.
The size format switch and the size format selection moved into two private helpers, which is what let the three columns be formatted in one pass; --size_format output itself is unchanged.
Testing
New Behat scenarios for the separate fields (database and per-table, MySQL and SQLite) and for the human readable precision, plus one asserting that a field selection is honoured.
features/db-size.feature passes in full against both MariaDB 10.11 (20 scenarios) and SQLite (19 scenarios).
composer lint, composer lint-gherkin, composer phpcs and composer phpstan are clean.
The reported size has always been the sum of the data and the index
size, which hides how much of a database is taken up by indexes alone.
Add optional `Data` and `Index` fields that can be selected through the
new `--fields` argument, while `Size` keeps reporting the total.
For SQLite, the size of a table now covers its indexes as well, which
matches how table sizes are reported for MySQL and MariaDB.
Human readable sizes now default to two decimals, so that a database of
6.23 GB is no longer reported as 7 GB, and a value that rounds up into
the next size format is displayed in that size format.

src/DB_Command.php:1316
This adds a second full dbstat query for every SQLite table, so --tables and --all-tables now do roughly twice the expensive per-table work even when only the default Size field is requested. Aggregate the table and its indexes in one query (or aggregate all objects once) to avoid this performance regression on databases with many tables/pages.
$index_bytes = (int) $wpdb->get_var(
$wpdb->prepare(
"SELECT SUM(pgsize) as size_in_bytes FROM dbstat where name IN ( SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type = 'index' AND tbl_name = %s )",
$table_name
)
);
src/DB_Command.php:1350
When SQLite is queried with only one detail field (for example, --fields=Name,Data), $show_details still executes both sqlite_type_size() calls, so the unrequested column incurs an unnecessary dbstat query. Track the Data and Index selections independently and query only the requested aggregate to preserve the benefit of field selection on larger databases.
The new rollover logic is not covered by an assertion at its boundary: the added human-readable scenario checks only decimal formatting, not that a value such as 999,999,999 bytes changes from MB to 1 GB (or that values above TB remain in TB). A regression in this helper could therefore pass the current suite; add a focused boundary test.
// Rounding can tip the value into the next size format, for example 999.95 KB.
if ( $size_key < count( $sizes ) - 1 && round( $bytes / pow( 1000, $size_key ), $decimals ) >= 1000 ) {
++$size_key;
src/DB_Command_SQLite.php:568
When dbstat is unavailable, get_var() fails and this cast turns the failure into 0. The new --fields=Data/Index path will therefore silently report 0 B instead of indicating that the requested SQLite breakdown cannot be calculated; check the query result/$wpdb->last_error and handle this case explicitly.
return (int) $wpdb->get_var(
$wpdb->prepare(
'SELECT SUM(pgsize) as size_in_bytes FROM dbstat where name IN ( SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type = %s )',
$type
)

Every dbstat query walks all pages of the database file, so asking for
the table size and the index size separately doubled that work for each
table. One grouped query over dbstat joined to sqlite_master returns
both, which also means the database-wide breakdown costs one query
instead of two.
The dbstat virtual table is not part of every SQLite build. Instead of
letting a failed query pass a silent 0 B on to the output, fail with a
message that names the missing extension.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01WA7GLFtiJMyt4ZwaDq194v
SQLite query efficiency (two findings, one about a second dbstat query per table, one about both aggregates being queried when only one field is selected). Fixed together: a single grouped query over dbstat joined to sqlite_master now returns the data and the index size at once.
SELECTsqlite_master.typeas type, SUM(dbstat.pgsize) as size_in_bytes
FROM dbstat JOIN sqlite_master ONsqlite_master.name=dbstat.nameGROUP BYsqlite_master.type
Every dbstat query walks all pages of the database file, so this matters: --tables is back to one pass per table, as on main, and the database-wide breakdown costs one pass instead of two — including when both Data and Index are requested, which is the common case.
dbstat unavailable. Previously a failed query left 0 B in the output, next to a real Size. The query now runs with errors suppressed and fails with a message naming the missing extension, rather than printing wpdb's HTML error dump followed by zeroes:
$ wp db size --fields=Name,Data,Index,Size
Error: Could not determine the data and index size of the database. This requires the dbstat extension, which is not available for this SQLite installation.
Plain wp db size is unaffected there — it reports the file size and never touches dbstat.
Rounding-boundary test. Not added; the reasoning is in the review thread. Short version: Behat cannot produce a database whose size lands in the narrow band where the branch fires, and the PHPUnit bootstrap from wp-cli-tests fatals in this package before any test runs, so adding a unit test is its own piece of work.
Verified against MariaDB 10.11 and SQLite: features/db-size.feature passes in full on both (20 and 19 scenarios), SQLite output is byte-for-byte what it was before the query consolidation, and the failure path above was checked by pointing the query at a missing virtual table. lint, lint-gherkin, phpcs and phpstan are clean.
codecov/patch is red on bd815e3: 67.93% of the diff hit against an auto-target of 68.61%. Everything else on this commit is green — the full Behat matrix, PHPCS, PHPStan, lint and spell check. I am not pushing a fix for it, and here is why.
Of the 42 uncovered lines, 30 are in src/DB_Command_SQLite.php, which Codecov scores at 0.00%. The test matrix records coverage on exactly one leg, Behat | PHP 8.5 | WP latest | mysql-8.0 (with coverage), so no SQLite code is ever executed while coverage is being measured. The SQLite legs do run these lines — features/db-size.feature passes on all of them — they are simply not the leg that uploads to Codecov. Any PR that adds SQLite code to this package lands in the same place, which is also why src/DB_Command_SQLite.php already read 0.00% on the first commit here, before the review-driven changes grew that method.
The other 12 lines are in src/DB_Command.php (88.11%): the is_sqlite() branches in size() (same reason), the line that promotes a rounded value into the next size format (the boundary Behat cannot produce, discussed here), and the guards for a size query that comes back empty.
Two ways to move the number, both rejected:
Drop the dbstat error handling and the row guards in sqlite_size_breakdown(). That would delete what the review asked for in order to satisfy a coverage percentage.
Build the dbstat query once and pass it to get_results() as a variable instead of duplicating it across the two branches. I tried this — it is fewer lines and less duplication — but WordPress.DB.PreparedSQL.NotPrepared rejects it (Use placeholders and $wpdb->prepare(); found $query), and silencing that sniff to shave a coverage line is a worse trade than the duplication.
I have not re-run the check: patch coverage is computed from the uploaded report, so a re-run recomputes the same ratio.
If the delta matters for merging, the fix belongs in the coverage job rather than in this diff — a SQLite leg with coverage: true in wp-cli/.github would cover DB_Command_SQLite.php for this and every future PR. Happy to open that if it is wanted.

Require non-zero MySQL data and index values
features/db-size.feature:120
This assertion accepts 0 B for every new column, so it would still pass if the MySQL breakdown query stopped returning any data or index bytes. A fresh WordPress database has both data and indexes; require non-zero values so this scenario verifies the feature rather than only the column layout.
This issue also appears in the following locations of the same file:
line 133
line 141
Add boundary coverage for size unit rollover
src/DB_Command.php:1456
The newly added rollover branch is not covered by the human-readable scenario, which only checks an arbitrary small installation size. A regression that again renders 999,999,999 bytes as 1000 MB would pass; add a deterministic boundary test for promotion to GB (and ideally the TB cap).
