How to find size of Database and Table in PostgreSQL

This article is half-done without your Comment! *** Please share your thoughts via Comment ***

In this post, I am sharing few important function for finding the size of database, table and index in PostgreSQL.

Script 1 : Find a total size of the database.

1
SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size('db_employee'));

Script 2: Find a total size of the table with an index.

1
SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('Employee_Table'));

Script 3: Find a total size of the table without an index.

1
SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('Employee_table'));

Script 4: Find a total size of the index.

1
SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_indexes_size('index_empid'));

Script 5: Find a total number of rows in a table.

1
SELECT COUNT(1) FROM Employee_table;

Script 6 : Find all the table size in the current database.

FROM information_schema.tables
ORDER BY
pg_total_relation_size('"' || table_schema || '"."' || table_name || '"') DESC
