    So how does one go about using a table name from
    information_schema.tables in pg_table_size()?


Find that the function signature in the documentation requires an input of "regclass" and ignore attempts to pass anything but that to the function.

pg_table_size ( regclass ) → bigint

I observe in v13 that the expected syntax works just fine:

select pg_table_size((table_schema || '.' || table_name)::regclass) from information_schema.tables;

Yeah I tried that, didn't include in my previous post:

select pg_table_size((table_schema || '.' || table_name)::regclass) from information_schema.tables;
ERROR:  invalid name syntax
