To get an overview about how much space is taken by what database, use:
SELECT
pg_database.datname,
pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size(pg_database.datname)) AS size_pretty,
pg_database_size(pg_database.datname) AS size
FROM pg_database
ORDER BY pg_database_size(pg_database.datname) DESC;
To get more details, use:
-- get dead tuples, last vacuum, last analyze
SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(relid)) AS tablesize, schemaname, relname, n_live_tup, n_dead_tup, last_vacuum, last_autovacuum, last_analyze, last_autoanalyze
FROM pg_stat_user_tables
--WHERE relname = 'fct_encounter'
--WHERE schemaname = 'dm'
ORDER BY n_live_tup DESC;
SELECT
schemaname,
relname as "Table",
pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(relid)) As "Size",
pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(relid) - pg_relation_size(relid)) as "External Size"
FROM pg_catalog.pg_statio_user_tables
ORDER BY pg_total_relation_size(relid) DESC;
It will show 3 columns:
Table – The name of the table
Size – The total size that this table takes
External Size – The size that related objects of this table like indices take
If you want to dig in deeper and see the size of all objects (at least of 64kB):
SELECT
relname AS objectname,
relkind AS objecttype,
reltuples AS "#entries",
pg_size_pretty(relpages::bigint*8*1024) AS size
FROM pg_class
WHERE relpages >= 8
ORDER BY relpages DESC;
This will show 4 columns:
objectname – The name of the object
objecttype – r for the table, i for an index, t for toast data, ...
#entries – The number of entries in the object (e.g. rows)
size – The size of the object
