Thread: Documentation on disk usage
Since we just had the discussion about index size, I have written a section for our administration manual that shows ways of finding the disk usage for specific tables and databases: http://candle.pha.pa.us/main/writings/pgsql/sgml/diskusage.html I also updated README.oid2name to show a sample session that analyzes disk usage. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026
