This module contains two functions that report the size of a given
|
|
database or relation. E.g.,
|
|
|
|
SELECT database_size('template1');
|
|
SELECT relation_size('pg_class');
|
|
|
|
These functions report the actual file system space. Thus, users can
|
|
avoid digging through the details of the database directories.
|
|
|
|
Copy this directory to contrib/dbsize in your PostgreSQL source tree.
|
|
Then just run make; make install. Finally, load the functions into any
|
|
database using dbsize.sql.
|
|
|
|
When computing the size of a table, it does not include TOAST or index
|
|
disk space.
