Right, I would not like to cause a lot of I/O activity just to look at the permissions on a schema... Besides, schemas are not physical, but logical containers. So I see a point in measuring the storage used in a certain tablespace, but not so much by all objects in a certain schema. It might be useful for accounting purposes, though. But I don't expect it to be in frequent enough demand to add a psql command. What about inventing a function pg_schema_size(regnamespace)? Yours, Laurenz Albe
