Thread: How much space do database objects take up in data files
Hi, How can I find out how much space is taken up by database objects in data files? Thanks Peter
Hi Im not sure ;] but ... http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/functions-admin.html and table 9-54 merlin=# select tablename, pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size (tablename)) from pg_catalog.pg_tables where tableowner='merlin';; tablename | pg_size_pretty -----------+---------------- foo | 8192 bytes ip | 8192 bytes (2 rows) On 2008-02-13, at 19:43, Peter Kovacs wrote: > Hi, > > How can I find out how much space is taken up by database objects > in data files? > > Thanks > Peter Pawel Socha pawel.socha@gmail.com perl -le 's**02).4^&-%2,).^9%4^!./4(%2^3,!#+7!2%^53%2&**y%& -;^[%"`- { a%%s%%$_%ee'
Hi, I've struggled with this one too. You can get the size of databases with SELECT pg_database_size('database name'); You can get the size of tables with SELECT pg_relation_size('table name'); Carol On Feb 13, 2008, at 1:43 PM, Peter Kovacs wrote: > Hi, > > How can I find out how much space is taken up by database objects > in data files? > > Thanks > Peter > > ---------------------------(end of > broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? > > http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq

Give this query a try. It's a variation of one posted on this list some time ago. Unfortunately, I'm not sure who to credit for the original post. This one takes into account index and toast size and sorts descending by totalsize. SELECT nspname, relname, pg_size_pretty(tablesize+indexsize+toastsize+toastindexsize) AS totalsize FROM (SELECT ns.nspname, cl.relname, pg_relation_size(cl.oid) AS tablesize, COALESCE((SELECT SUM(pg_relation_size(indexrelid))::bigint FROM pg_index WHERE cl.oid=indrelid), 0) AS indexsize, CASE WHEN reltoastrelid=0 THEN 0 ELSE pg_relation_size(reltoastrelid) END AS toastsize, CASE WHEN reltoastrelid=0 THEN 0 ELSE pg_relation_size((SELECT reltoastidxid FROM pg_class ct WHERE ct.oid = cl.reltoastrelid)) END AS toastindexsize FROM pg_class cl, pg_namespace ns WHERE cl.relnamespace = ns.oid AND ns.nspname NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema') AND cl.relname IN (SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_type = 'BASE TABLE')) ss ORDER BY tablesize+indexsize+toastsize+toastindexsize DESC; -- Jeff Frost, Owner <jeff@frostconsultingllc.com> Frost Consulting, LLC http://www.frostconsultingllc.com/ Phone: 650-780-7908 FAX: 650-649-1954
