Hi!

I'm trying to use this query to get table sizes, however I'm getting a
strange error:

select tablename,pg_relation_size(tablename::text)
  from pg_tables;

In PG 13:

SQL Error [42P01]: ERROR: relation "sql_implementation_info" does not
exist

In PG 12:

SQL Error [42P01]: ERROR: relation "sql_parts" does not exist

Try like this:

select schemaname,
       tablename,
pg_relation_size((schemaname || '.' || '"' || tablename || '"')::regclass)
from pg_tables;

You need to schema qualify the tables. Additionally, if you happen to have table names that have a mix of capital and non capital letters or contain other characters that might be problematic, you need to enclose the table name in double quotes.
