I found the following script useful; for calculating database size:-
select pg_database_size?

-- Query returns size of a database calculated from the no. 8k pages

SELECT
sum( relpages*8/1024 ) as MB

pg_class
WHERE

-- relname = 'tablename'
relnamespace = '2200'

I have been given a task to try a proof of concept of migrating are
active databases from PostgreSQL 8.0.1 to 8.2.3
I will install and configPostgreSQL on my local w/s and replicate
the database users etc etc.
I have had a look inside /var/lib/pgsql/data/base and there are
numerous files (db's) which I believe is where I can check data
base size.
1 108012 114465 122407 1261267 1261963 17229 17233 17234 17235 174066 19247 205009 21272 2793694 2794334 333245 333375
I am aware that Postgresql creates directories to keep each database
in.
These directories aren't names,they are kept as the *'OID's *of each
database (oid's are*"object identifiers"*).
Previously I just run pg_dump and thus run ls -lh on the db dump.
Anyway
of checking a size of a given database I have tried
the sql using select pg_database_size ('dbaname'); but no joy.
Cheers
Chuck
