Ron,
Here is a model that works in any LINUX environment. You can tweak for your
commands:
Please include your PostgreSQL version and O/S in future submissions to
this list.
#!/bin/bash
# Reports sizes for all or selected database
PORT=""
USER=""
DBNAME="%"
usage() {
echo "Usage: $0 [-d <dbname> -U <user> -p <port>]"
exit 1
}
while getopts "d:p:uU:" OPT;
do case "${OPT}" in
d) DBNAME=$OPTARG
;;
p) PORT="-p $OPTARG"
;;
U) USER="-U $OPTARG"
;;
u) usage
;;
[?]) usage
esac;
done
if [ "$DBNAME" = "" ]
then
usage
exit 1
fi
psql $PORT $USER postgres <<_EOF_
SELECT txid_current() AS txid_current;
SELECT datname,
rolname as owner,
pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size(datname) )as size_pretty,
pg_database_size(datname) as size,
(SELECT pg_size_pretty (SUM( pg_database_size(datname))::bigint)
FROM pg_database) AS total,
(pg_database_size(datname) / (SELECT SUM(
pg_database_size(datname))
FROM pg_database) ) *
100::numeric(6,3) AS pct
FROM pg_database d
JOIN pg_authid a ON a.oid = datdba
WHERE datname LIKE '%$DBNAME%'
ORDER BY datname;
_EOF_
