Commons tools for checking size, directory, and count rows
Just write down what I've learned about web data scraping so that I won't forget everything and start all over next time I need to use the technique.
How to check database size with query:
SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_database_size('dbname') ); ? #replace dbname
How to check table size with query:
SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_relation_size('tbname') );
How to check database directory:
show data_directory; ?#need to be a superuser to have the access for directory
How to check row count in a table:
SELECT count(*) FROM tbl_APP_allStations;
Show maximum connections allowed:
SHOW max_connections;
Where to find config file:
SHOW config_file;
