I am really hoping that someone can help me out here.
I have a server (as example) with 24 postgresql databases running on it. Each database differs in size from a couple of kb to a couple of Gb.
When using these different sizes to try and create charts which will show the database growth, I am having some issues.
The reason for this is that all the values are stored / noted in the spreadsheets with the specific metric such as kb, mb,etc... next to it in order to differentiate between them.
In order to be able to create the chart, the values however must only contain the numeric values with no metric values.
I am running the following commands to retrieve the database sizes:
for i in `psql -t -c "select datname from pg_catalog.pg_database d" | grep -v template0 | grep -v template1`; do echo $i;psql -d $i -t -c "SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size('$i')) As fulldbsize;"; done
My question:
Does anybody know of a method to retrieve the sizes, however , by specifying in which metric it should be displayed? (i.e. 1Gb will be returned as 1024Mb).
I would really appreciate it if someone can assist with this.
