Thread: Database size

I'm doing some work for an ISP, and need to be able to tell how large a
database is for billing purposes.  I looked in the docs and checked the
list archives, but didn't find anything.

It seems like this would be a common thing to check.

thanks,

jpb

man du :)

Actually if you look in the PostgreSQL data directory you will see a
folder for each database.  Unfortunately they all have numbers that
match up with the oid of the database instead of something like
larrys_database.

There is a program in contrib (oid2name) that matches these numbers up
with the database name.
