You need to put the database name in single quotes:
select pg_database_size('km');

Greetings,
Can someone help me with the syntax for running a postgres function
from the within psql? I need to know the size of several databases.
The postgres documentation says there is a function that will do what
I need. The function is pg_database_size(name). I tried select
pg_database-_size(km). The response I get says there is no column
"km". I think I must be using the wrong syntax, but haven't found a
reference to what the correct syntax is.
Thanks,
Carol Walter
