Please reply to the list, not directly to me.

Yes, pg_total_relation_size returns bytes. The documentation
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/functions-admin.html) doesn't
seem to explicitly say that for pg_total_relation_size though it does
for pg_relation_size and other functions.

Use pg_size_pretty to convert bytes to "human" values for display.
