This module contains two functions that report the size of a given database or relation. E.g., SELECT database_size('template1'); SELECT relation_size('pg_class'); These functions report the actual file system space. Thus, users can avoid digging through the details of the database directories. Copy this directory to contrib/dbsize in your PostgreSQL source tree. Then just run make; make install. Finally, load the functions into any database using dbsize.sql. When computing the size of a table, it does not include TOAST or index disk space.
