ST_MemSize — Returns the amount of space (in bytes) the raster takes.
integer ST_MemSize(
raster rast)
;
Returns the amount of space (in bytes) the raster takes.
This is a nice compliment to PostgreSQL built in functions pg_column_size, pg_size_pretty, pg_relation_size, pg_total_relation_size.
pg_relation_size which gives the byte size of a table may return byte size lower than ST_MemSize. This is because pg_relation_size does not add toasted table contribution and large geometries are stored in TOAST tables. pg_column_size might return lower because it returns the compressed size. pg_total_relation_size - includes, the table, the toasted tables, and the indexes. |
