[GENERAL] Installation Size showing huge size in postgres installed on windows os

2015-03-19 Thread Rajagopal NS

I have installed Postgres 9.0 in my machine. When I look at Programs and
Features under Control Panel, 
I see the Size for Postgres 9.0 is shown as 121GB. 

I feel neither the installation or the small postgres databases I would have
created use 121GB. 

Any reason why it shows 121GB 

Regards 
NS Rajagopla

 Could you share with us \l+ command in psql session ?

Also, see what Windows reports as the space taken up by the installation
and data directories.

For what it's worth, I've seen the wildest claims about installation
sizes in that panel. Mostly the installation size is severely
underestimated, but overestimates happen too - haven't seen anything
this bad though. I stopped trusting those numbers quite a while ago.

The reliable method is to check the directory size of your catalog
directories and the Postgres installation directory yourself.
