Show schema size with \dn+
Is there any interest in expanding \dn+ to show schema size, similar
to table sizes using \dt+ in 8.4? We use separate schemas for each
user, so this would allow us to quickly look up the sizes of each
user's data.
I have little experience with C and none with the PostgreSQL code base
-- where should I look to have a go at this?

I would say source file src/bin/psql/describe.c, function listSchemas.

A schema doesn't really have a size, because a schema is not a storage
subdivision.

Are you sure ?
I believe that we can pass more information structuralized facilitating the

Erm, it's a namespace inside of which objects exist. Sure, the
individual tables might be on different tablespaces, but the schema's
size is a direct aggregation of the objects which it contains.
The argument that it doesn't have a size is a bit like arguing that 'du'
should report the directory's size rather than the combined size of
everything in it.
I look forward to someone adding this, it'd be nice to have.
Thanks,
