Tree view 
is there a way to find out / calculate / estimate how big a pg_dump
using plain text format for a DB will be ?
I have this system with a 7.4 version and a DB that is over 60GB and I
know that the admins have never done a vacuum there.
The system only has about 20GB of free space so I don't want to take
any chances of filling up the disk due to a pg_dump  you know.


thanks,
