You can find the number with a simple query (SELECT oid FROM pg_database
WHERE datname='your database name') or with the oid2name contrib module.
But that's not the real issue. If you have objects of this database in
other tablespaces, "du -sh" on datadir/base/<oid> won't count them. You
should better use this query:
SELECT pg_database_size('your database name')
to get the total size of your database.
