At least as a first cut, it should be sufficient to look at pg_class.relpages, which'd be far easier to correlate with table names ;-). The relpages entry should be accurate as of the most recent VACUUM on each table, which ought to be close enough unless I missed something about the problem situation. regards, tom lane
