To determine the size of a Postgres database table from the command line, log in to your server using SSH and access the database with the table you want to check. Type this code in the command line to determine the size of any of the database's tables. SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_total_relation_size('tablename') );
PostgreSQL index size To get total size of all indexes attached to a table, you use the pg_indexes_size() function. The pg_indexes_size() function accepts the OID or table name as the argument and returns the total disk space used by all indexes attached of that table.
If you use psql to access the PostgreSQL database, you can use the \d command to view the index information for a table.
PostgreSQL does not impose a limit on the total size of a database. Databases of 4 terabytes (TB) are reported to exist. A database of this size is more than sufficient for all but the most demanding applications.
Try the Database Object Size Functions. An example:
SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('"<schema>"."<table>"'));
For all tables, something along the lines of:
SELECT
table_schema || '.' || table_name AS table_full_name,
pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('"' || table_schema || '"."' || table_name || '"')) AS size
FROM information_schema.tables
ORDER BY
pg_total_relation_size('"' || table_schema || '"."' || table_name || '"') DESC;
Edit: Here's the query submitted by @phord, for convenience:
SELECT
table_name,
pg_size_pretty(table_size) AS table_size,
pg_size_pretty(indexes_size) AS indexes_size,
pg_size_pretty(total_size) AS total_size
FROM (
SELECT
table_name,
pg_table_size(table_name) AS table_size,
pg_indexes_size(table_name) AS indexes_size,
pg_total_relation_size(table_name) AS total_size
FROM (
SELECT ('"' || table_schema || '"."' || table_name || '"') AS table_name
FROM information_schema.tables
) AS all_tables
ORDER BY total_size DESC
) AS pretty_sizes;
I've modified it slightly to use pg_table_size()
to include metadata and make the sizes add up.
Show database sizes:
\l+
e.g.
=> \l+
berbatik_prd_commerce | berbatik_prd | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | | 19 MB | pg_default |
berbatik_stg_commerce | berbatik_stg | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | | 8633 kB | pg_default |
bursasajadah_prd | bursasajadah_prd | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | | 1122 MB | pg_default |
Show table sizes:
\d+
e.g.
=> \d+
public | tuneeca_prd | table | tomcat | 8192 bytes |
public | tuneeca_stg | table | tomcat | 1464 kB |
Only works in psql
.
(Summary of @zkutch's answer.)
If the database name is snort
, the following sentence give it size:
psql -c "\l+ snort" | awk -F "|" '{print $7}'
Try this : (Index size/usage statistics)
SELECT
t.tablename,
indexname,
c.reltuples AS num_rows,
pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(quote_ident(t.tablename)::text)) AS table_size,
pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(quote_ident(indexrelname)::text)) AS index_size,
CASE WHEN indisunique THEN 'Y'
ELSE 'N'
END AS UNIQUE,
idx_scan AS number_of_scans,
idx_tup_read AS tuples_read,
idx_tup_fetch AS tuples_fetched
FROM pg_tables t
LEFT OUTER JOIN pg_class c ON t.tablename=c.relname
LEFT OUTER JOIN
( SELECT c.relname AS ctablename, ipg.relname AS indexname, x.indnatts AS number_of_columns, idx_scan, idx_tup_read, idx_tup_fetch, indexrelname, indisunique FROM pg_index x
JOIN pg_class c ON c.oid = x.indrelid
JOIN pg_class ipg ON ipg.oid = x.indexrelid
JOIN pg_stat_all_indexes psai ON x.indexrelid = psai.indexrelid )
AS foo
ON t.tablename = foo.ctablename
WHERE t.schemaname='public'
ORDER BY 1,2;
PostgreSQL tables have three components: the table itself, any indexes on it, and potentially TOAST data. There's a couple of examples showing how to slide and dice the available information various ways at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Disk_Usage
Just for info, I have got the excelent answer from @aib and modified it a little for:
On materialized view we can use index for refreshing materialized views concurrently, which allows using them while updating.
Well, my query will be the following:
SELECT
table_name,
pg_size_pretty(table_size) AS table_size,
pg_size_pretty(indexes_size) AS indexes_size,
pg_size_pretty(total_size) AS total_size
FROM (
SELECT
table_name,
pg_table_size(table_name) AS table_size,
pg_indexes_size(table_name) AS indexes_size,
pg_total_relation_size(table_name) AS total_size
FROM (
-- tables from 'public'
SELECT table_name
FROM information_schema.tables
where table_schema = 'public' and table_type = 'BASE TABLE'
union
-- materialized views
SELECT oid::regclass::text as table_name
FROM pg_class
WHERE relkind = 'm'
order by table_name
) AS all_tables
-- ORDER BY total_size DESC
order by table_name
) AS pretty_sizes
The Query below will serve you
SELECT nspname || '.' || relname AS "relation",
pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(C.oid)) AS "total_size"
FROM pg_class C
LEFT JOIN pg_namespace N ON (N.oid = C.relnamespace)
WHERE nspname NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema')
AND C.relkind <> 'i'
AND nspname !~ '^pg_toast'
ORDER BY pg_total_relation_size(C.oid) DESC
LIMIT 20;
