Hi,

Our database is growing fast. I want to create a cronjob that should tell me what is the current size of the database on each day.

How can I find this from the database? Is there any pre-written scripts written by somebody to share?


Hi,
there is an administrative function called pg_database_size(name), as in SELECT pg_database_size('mydb'); which returns the disk space used by the database with the specified name.

See Chapter 9.20.

cheers,
Hubertus
