Hi all.

i am running this query to get to 20 biggest tables but getting only
pg_temp** records like this without size:

"pg_toast_temp_39.pg_toast_1384618609";""
"pg_toast_temp_146.pg_toast_1384509547_index";""
"pg_temp_5.tt_photo";""
"pg_toast_temp_146.pg_toast_1384494807";""
"pg_temp_58.tt_category_action_brands_АкцияГУИД_idx";""
"pg_toast_temp_56.pg_toast_1384618787_index";""
"pg_toast_temp_47.pg_toast_1384618711";""
"pg_toast_temp_58.pg_toast_1384618621_index";""
"pg_toast_temp_5.pg_toast_1384618426_index";""
"pg_temp_32.tt1";""
"pg_temp_5.tt_accessory_kit_composition_НоменклатураГУИД_idx";""
"pg_toast_temp_112.pg_toast_1384472524";""
"pg_toast_temp_27.pg_toast_1384618423_index";""

How can i fix it? As i understand this is temp tables that was created
during run of some heavy queries that didn't fit in to work_mem and was
dumped on disk.
How i can remove it from stats, just restart postgre will help?
pgsql_tmp dir doesn't contain those files, so i can assume that they
already deleted from disk?


Thanks!

What query did you run?

For finding largest tables, I use:

select oid::regclass, pg_table_size(oid) from pg_class where relkind
= 'r' order by 2 desc limit 20;

Best regards,

depesz

Sorry,
this query

SELECT nspname || '.' || relname AS "relation",
    pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(C.oid)) AS "total_size"
  FROM pg_class C
  LEFT JOIN pg_namespace N ON (N.oid = C.relnamespace)
  WHERE nspname NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema')
    AND C.relkind <> 'i'
    AND nspname !~ '^pg_toast'
  ORDER BY pg_total_relation_size(C.oid) DESC
  LIMIT 20;

I think what's happening is that your ORDER BY is sorting nulls first.
So what's coming out at the top is temp relations that were dropped
between the time of the statement snapshot and the time that
pg_total_relation_size looked at them.  Try ORDER BY ... DESC NULLS LAST.
