You can use "select pg_total_relation_size('pg_largeobject')" to get the
total size of the large objects. Attributing large objects to the tables
that refer them is more difficult. For a single table, something like this:
select sum(pg_column_size(lo.data))
from lotest_stash_values t, pg_largeobject lo
where lo.loid = t.loid;
Replace "lotest_stash_values" with the table's name and lo.loid with the
name of the OID column.
