I thought Max_data_length was in bytes, but I could be wrong. Also the maximum size of a table is usually determined by the operating system and not MySQL itself, in most cases I think this is around 2GB.

Try this for Database Size or Table Size :

SELECT TABLE_NAME,ROUND((DATA_LENGTH/1024)/1024) AS DATA_SIZE,ROUND((INDEX_LENGTH/1024)/1024) AS INDEX_SIZE,ROUND(((DATA_LENGTH/1024)/1024) + ((INDEX_LENGTH/1024)/1024)) AS TOTAL_TABLE_SIZE
FROM information_schema.TABLES
GROUP BY TABLE_NAME
