Hi everybody,


there must be a nice way of getting the size of my database (in mB,
preferably), but I couldn't find it in the documentation that I searched
through briefly.

The reason why I wanna do this is because the server might get full quickly
and to make sure it doensn't happen before I know I'm writing a script that
sends me the size of this database per mail.

Can anyone direct me to an answer to this problem? 

I would be most thankful,


Gus

Size of my data base?
If you installed in the default directory then the files relating to a
database are in

/usr/local/pgsql/data/base/<databasename>

So you could just total up the size of everything under that directory.

Re: Size of my data base?
I was wondering if someone could tell me if I have gotten the fields of
tgargs correct:

<unnamed>\000 -- Constraint name?

foreign_table_multi\000 -- table with foreign key(s)

primary_table_multi\000 -- table with primary key(s)

UNSPECIFIED\000         -- ??

foreign_int_1\000       -- 1st field in foreign key

primary_int_1\000       -- 1st field in referenced primary key

foreign_int_2\000       -- 1st field in foreign key

primary_int_2\000       -- 1st field in referenced primary key

Thanks

For foreign key constraints, yes.  Other triggers can use tgargs for
whatever they want.

Yes.

Yep.

What match type was specified (or unspecified if none was specified).

2nd on the latter two, but yes in general
