You can find a list of those files in the PostgreSQL data directory. </p>
<blockquote><p>It creates a file for relation like table, index, sequence and toast table. As it stores with OID (Object ID), then it&#8217;s hard to locate a particular relation file. </p></blockquote>
<p>Once you get the OID and location of your table, you can quickly estimate other items like a size of a table, FSM file, VM file, toast information.</p>
