Re: pg_relation_size performance issue - Mailing list pgsql-general
If I drop the restriction on table name I get a list that also includes indexes, constraints, etc. Is there a way to restrict the returned set to tables only?

Dammit pg_total_relation_size includes toast data. Thumb problems and to quick to hit send. :(

I'm not sure why you are adding toast to table size, since pg_relation_size already does that.

This query might work better and faster for you.
SELECT n.nspname as schema,
c.relname as table,
a.rolname as owner,
c.relfilenode as filename,
c.reltuples::integer,
pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size( quote_ident( n.nspname ) || '.' || quote_ident( c.relname ) )) as size,
pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size( quote_ident( n.nspname ) || '.' || quote_ident( c.relname ) )) as total_size,
pg_relation_size( quote_ident( n.nspname ) || '.' || quote_ident( c.relname ) ) as size_bytes,
pg_total_relation_size( quote_ident( n.nspname ) || '.' || quote_ident( c.relname ) ) as total_size_bytes,
CASE WHEN c.reltablespace = 0
THEN 'pg_default'
ELSE (SELECT t.spcname
FROM pg_tablespace t WHERE (t.oid = c.reltablespace) )
END as tablespace
FROM pg_class c
JOIN pg_namespace n ON (n.oid = c.relnamespace)
JOIN pg_authid a ON ( a.oid = c.relowner )
WHERE c.relname = 'sensor'
AND n.nspname = 'devtest';

Getting rid of the useless join to pg_stat_all_tables would probably help;
there's a lot of computation in that view.
