Size of my data base?

Hi everybody,

there must be a nice way of getting the size of my database (in mB,
preferably), but I couldn't find it in the documentation that I searched
through briefly.

The reason why I wanna do this is because the server might get full quickly
and to make sure it doensn't happen before I know I'm writing a script that
sends me the size of this database per mail.

Can anyone direct me to an answer to this problem?

I would be most thankful,

Gus

Re: Size of my data base?

If you installed in the default directory then the files relating to a
database are in

/usr/local/pgsql/data/base/<databasename>

So you could just total up the size of everything under that directory.

pg_trigger and tgargs

I was wondering if someone could tell me if I have gotten the fields of
tgargs correct:

<unnamed>\000 -- Constraint name?

foreign_table_multi\000 -- table with foreign key(s)

primary_table_multi\000 -- table with primary key(s)

UNSPECIFIED\000 -- ??

foreign_int_1\000 -- 1st field in foreign key

primary_int_1\000 -- 1st field in referenced primary key

foreign_int_2\000 -- 1st field in foreign key

primary_int_2\000 -- 1st field in referenced primary key

Thanks

For foreign key constraints, yes. Other triggers can use tgargs for
whatever they want.

<unnamed>\000 -- Constraint name?

Yes.

foreign_table_multi\000 -- table with foreign key(s)
primary_table_multi\000 -- table with primary key(s)

Yep.

UNSPECIFIED\000 -- ??

What match type was specified (or unspecified if none was specified).

foreign_int_1\000 -- 1st field in foreign key

primary_int_1\000 -- 1st field in referenced primary key

foreign_int_2\000 -- 1st field in foreign key
primary_int_2\000 -- 1st field in referenced primary key

2nd on the latter two, but yes in general
