Execute this against the database that you want to check the size
of: SELECT schemaname, tablename, pg_size_pretty(size) AS size_pretty, pg_size_pretty(total_size) AS total_size_pretty FROM (SELECT *, pg_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename) AS size, pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename) AS total_size FROM pg_tables) AS TABLES WHERE schemaname='public' ORDER BY total_size DESC; This will get it by table ….

Behalf Of Khangelani Gama Hi Please help, I am new to postgres administration. I just
need a command to check the size of the database. I tried searching but no luck. The server is running on Postgres
7.3.4 and O/S Linux Centos 5. The data sits on /data/postgres7.3.4/data
directory. There is no directory like /usr/src/postgresql-7.3.4/contrib/dbsize But the backup server which is also running postgres
7.3.4 but on Redhat 9 does have /usr/src/postgresql-7.3.4/contrib/dbsize
directory which has the following files but I don’t what to from from: [root@c9903 dbsize]# pwd /usr/src/postgresql-7.3.4/contrib/dbsize [root@c9903 dbsize]# ls -ltrh total 16K -rw-r--r-- 1

dbsize.c [root@c9903 dbsize]# I also could not find functions like pg_database_size(), pg_size_pretty() ,etc in this old version of postgres7.3.4. In summary I can’t find the command to find the database
size from the main server and from the backup server. Please help Thanks Khangelani Confidentiality Notice:http://ucs.co.za/conf.html The contents of and attachments to this e-mail are intended for the
