Not AFAIK. In the past I've done ls -l and then divided by the average row size. But that required some guesswork and depended on the fact that I was building the table from scratch. I think there's a tool to dump the raw table data which might be handy if you know the table didn't have a lot of dead tuples in it. It would be *really* handy to have a working dirty read isolation level that allowed other sessions to read uncommitted data. -- greg ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
