Re: growth of a postgresql database

The contrib/dbsize module will accomplish what you want.  I use release 8.0.1 and it works for me. 

It provides the size of the DB, you could cron a job to take readings at various times and calculate the growth that way.

Hello,

How can we see/calculate the growth of a postgresql database? Is there any tool in postgresql to see the
growth (or size) of one database? If yes, beginning with which release?

Thank you
