The number returned when using pg_total_relation size makes more sense:
346GB. However it looked like pg_class has toast and indexes listed
individually, so I assumed that using pg_total_relation_size would count
values twice, because the total relation size of table would include toast
and indexes, and then they would get counted again when I ran
pg_total_relation_size on the toast and indexes themselves. Is that an
incorrect assumption on my part?

Thanks
