list of schema with sizes (relative and absolute) in a PostgreSQL database

Question

I\'m looking for a query that returns a result of the form for any database (see example below supposing total space used by the database is 40GB)

schema | si

Try this:

SELECT schema_name, 
       sum(table_size),
       (sum(table_size) / database_size) * 100
FROM (
  SELECT pg_catalog.pg_namespace.nspname as schema_name,
         pg_relation_size(pg_catalog.pg_class.oid) as table_size,
         sum(pg_relation_size(pg_catalog.pg_class.oid)) over () as database_size
  FROM   pg_catalog.pg_class
     JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace ON relnamespace = pg_catalog.pg_namespace.oid
) t
GROUP BY schema_name, database_size

Edit: just noticed the workaround with summing up all tables to get the database size is not necessary:

SELECT schema_name, 
       pg_size_pretty(sum(table_size)::bigint),
       (sum(table_size) / pg_database_size(current_database())) * 100
FROM (
  SELECT pg_catalog.pg_namespace.nspname as schema_name,
         pg_relation_size(pg_catalog.pg_class.oid) as table_size
  FROM   pg_catalog.pg_class
     JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace ON relnamespace = pg_catalog.pg_namespace.oid
) t
GROUP BY schema_name
ORDER BY schema_name
