1) how do I find out the size, in MB, of a particular table (called
'capture' in this case).
I tried entering the SQL query SELECT (pg_tablespace_size('capture'));
The result was the following:
ERROR:  tablespace "capture" does not exist

You're looking for pg_relation_size('capture') or pg_total_relation_size('capture'). A tablespace is a named location for creating objects.


2) how do I find out where the actual files for the database are stored on
my system?
Where is the default storage location?

The complete story is laid out in the docs here:
