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?
