3.26)How much database disk space is required to store data from a typical
flat file?
Consider a file with 300,000 lines with two integers on each line. The
flat file is 2.4MB. The size of the PostgreSQL database file
containing this data can be estimated:
40 bytes + each row header (approximate)
8 bytes + two int fields @ 4 bytes each
4 bytes + pointer on page to tuple
-------- =
52 bytes per row
The data page size in PostgreSQL is 8192(8k) bytes, so:
8192 bytes per page
------------------- = 157 rows per database page (rounded up)
52 bytes per row
300000 data rows
----------------- = 1911 database pages
157 rows per page
1911 database pages * 8192 bytes per page = 15,654,912 or 15.5MB
Indexes do not contain as much overhead, but do contain the data that
is being indexed, so they can be large also.
