How do you find the disk size of a Postgres / PostgreSQL table and its indexes
PostgresqlPostgresql Problem Overview
I'm coming to Postgres from Oracle and looking for a way to find the table and index size in terms of bytes/MB/GB/etc
, or even better the size for all tables. In Oracle I had a nasty long query that looked at user_lobs and user_segments to give back an answer.
I assume in Postgres there's something I can use in the information_schema
tables, but I'm not seeing where.
Postgresql Solutions
Solution 1 - Postgresql
Try the Database Object Size Functions. An example:
SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('"<schema>"."<table>"'));
For all tables, something along the lines of:
SELECT
table_schema || '.' || table_name AS table_full_name,
pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('"' || table_schema || '"."' || table_name || '"')) AS size
FROM information_schema.tables
ORDER BY
pg_total_relation_size('"' || table_schema || '"."' || table_name || '"') DESC;
Edit: Here's the query submitted by @phord, for convenience:
SELECT
table_name,
pg_size_pretty(table_size) AS table_size,
pg_size_pretty(indexes_size) AS indexes_size,
pg_size_pretty(total_size) AS total_size
FROM (
SELECT
table_name,
pg_table_size(table_name) AS table_size,
pg_indexes_size(table_name) AS indexes_size,
pg_total_relation_size(table_name) AS total_size
FROM (
SELECT ('"' || table_schema || '"."' || table_name || '"') AS table_name
FROM information_schema.tables
) AS all_tables
ORDER BY total_size DESC
) AS pretty_sizes;
I've modified it slightly to use pg_table_size()
to include metadata and make the sizes add up.
Solution 2 - Postgresql
Show database sizes:
\l+
e.g.
=> \l+
berbatik_prd_commerce | berbatik_prd | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | | 19 MB | pg_default |
berbatik_stg_commerce | berbatik_stg | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | | 8633 kB | pg_default |
bursasajadah_prd | bursasajadah_prd | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | | 1122 MB | pg_default |
Show table sizes:
\d+
e.g.
=> \d+
public | tuneeca_prd | table | tomcat | 8192 bytes |
public | tuneeca_stg | table | tomcat | 1464 kB |
Only works in psql
.

Solution 3 - Postgresql
If the database name is snort
, the following sentence give it size:
psql -c "\l+ snort" | awk -F "|" '{print $7}'
Solution 4 - Postgresql
Try this : (Index size/usage statistics)
SELECT
t.tablename,
indexname,
c.reltuples AS num_rows,
pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(quote_ident(t.tablename)::text)) AS table_size,
pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(quote_ident(indexrelname)::text)) AS index_size,
CASE WHEN indisunique THEN 'Y'
ELSE 'N'
END AS UNIQUE,
idx_scan AS number_of_scans,
idx_tup_read AS tuples_read,
idx_tup_fetch AS tuples_fetched
FROM pg_tables t
LEFT OUTER JOIN pg_class c ON t.tablename=c.relname
LEFT OUTER JOIN
( SELECT c.relname AS ctablename, ipg.relname AS indexname, x.indnatts AS number_of_columns, idx_scan, idx_tup_read, idx_tup_fetch, indexrelname, indisunique FROM pg_index x
JOIN pg_class c ON c.oid = x.indrelid
JOIN pg_class ipg ON ipg.oid = x.indexrelid
JOIN pg_stat_all_indexes psai ON x.indexrelid = psai.indexrelid )
AS foo
ON t.tablename = foo.ctablename
WHERE t.schemaname='public'
ORDER BY 1,2;
Solution 5 - Postgresql
PostgreSQL tables have three components: the table itself, any indexes on it, and potentially TOAST data. There's a couple of examples showing how to slide and dice the available information various ways at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Disk_Usage
Solution 6 - Postgresql
Just for info, I have got the excelent answer from @aib and modified it a little for:
- getting only tables from "public" schema
- show also materialized views data and index size
On materialized view we can use index for refreshing materialized views concurrently, which allows using them while updating.
Well, my query will be the following:
SELECT
table_name,
pg_size_pretty(table_size) AS table_size,
pg_size_pretty(indexes_size) AS indexes_size,
pg_size_pretty(total_size) AS total_size
FROM (
SELECT
table_name,
pg_table_size(table_name) AS table_size,
pg_indexes_size(table_name) AS indexes_size,
pg_total_relation_size(table_name) AS total_size
FROM (
-- tables from 'public'
SELECT table_name
FROM information_schema.tables
where table_schema = 'public' and table_type = 'BASE TABLE'
union
-- materialized views
SELECT oid::regclass::text as table_name
FROM pg_class
WHERE relkind = 'm'
order by table_name
) AS all_tables
-- ORDER BY total_size DESC
order by table_name
) AS pretty_sizes
Solution 7 - Postgresql
check this wiki. https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Disk_Usage
SELECT *, pg_size_pretty(total_bytes) AS total , pg_size_pretty(index_bytes) AS INDEX , pg_size_pretty(toast_bytes) AS toast , pg_size_pretty(table_bytes) AS TABLE FROM ( SELECT *, total_bytes-index_bytes-COALESCE(toast_bytes,0) AS table_bytes FROM ( SELECT c.oid,nspname AS table_schema, relname AS TABLE_NAME , c.reltuples AS row_estimate , pg_total_relation_size(c.oid) AS total_bytes , pg_indexes_size(c.oid) AS index_bytes , pg_total_relation_size(reltoastrelid) AS toast_bytes FROM pg_class c LEFT JOIN pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace WHERE relkind = 'r' ) a ) a
Solution 8 - Postgresql
The Query below will serve you
SELECT nspname || '.' || relname AS "relation",
pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(C.oid)) AS "total_size"
FROM pg_class C
LEFT JOIN pg_namespace N ON (N.oid = C.relnamespace)
WHERE nspname NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema')
AND C.relkind <> 'i'
AND nspname !~ '^pg_toast'
ORDER BY pg_total_relation_size(C.oid) DESC
LIMIT 20;

Solution 9 - Postgresql
Try this script to find all table size:
SELECT
table_schema || '.' || table_name AS TableName,
pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('"' || table_schema || '"."' || table_name || '"')) AS TableSize
FROM information_schema.tables
ORDER BY
pg_total_relation_size('"' || table_schema || '"."' || table_name || '"') DESC
