sql 检查PostgreSQL数据库中表和对象的大小

Posted 2021-05-13

To get an overview about how much space is taken by what database, call:

SELECT
    pg_database.datname,
    pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size(pg_database.datname)) AS size
    FROM pg_database;
To get more details, call:

SELECT
   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
