Is there a pg_* view to measure?

Thank you

Hi,
as you know 'memory usage' is smt continuously changes in time and not directly related to pg also related to your resources , you can set a specific  limit if you want.

No idea. And how do you get memory usage in Oracle or MSSQL?

Well, the answer is simple - in Microsoft and Oracle, someone wrote such
views/functions. In Pg - not. You are welcome to provide a patch,
though :)

Hi Depesz,

--Here is better one for Oracle by sga/pga.
SELECT DECODE (GROUPING (nm), 1, 'total', nm) nm,
       ROUND (SUM (val / 1024 / 1024)) MB
  FROM (SELECT 'sga' nm, SUM (VALUE) val FROM v$sga
        UNION ALL
        SELECT 'pga', SUM (VALUE)
          FROM v$sysstat
        WHERE name = 'session pga memory')
GROUP BY ROLLUP (nm);

Sure, I will take up the task, will send you the script once it is ready, so you can bless it. :)

Regards
Nik
