        Dear Friends,

        I am newbie to postgresql.
        I have 162 GB on my database but when I check size of all
        tables, I approximately obtain 80 GB.
        I also see that I have 68GB of temporary files however I only
        found 2.4MB at postgres/data/base/pgsql_tmp.


    Exactly how did you determine this?

I used this command and sum result for all database :
SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('table_name'));

And this for complete database :
SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size('Database Name'));

So where did the 68GB number for temporary files come from?
