# List Database Objects With Disk Usage
I'll often times use `\d` or `\dt` to check out the tables in my database.
This shows the schema, object name, object type (e.g. `table`), and owner
for each.
By adding the `+` to that meta-command, I can also see the disk usage for
each database object.
Here is an example of look at all tables in a database with the additional
`Size` (or disk usage) information:
```sql
> \dt+
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner | Size | Description
--------+--------------------+-------+------------+------------+-------------
public | amount_types | table | jbranchaud | 16 kB |
public | ingredient_amounts | table | jbranchaud | 8192 bytes |
public | ingredient_types | table | jbranchaud | 16 kB |
public | ingredients | table | jbranchaud | 48 kB |
public | recipes | table | jbranchaud | 16 kB |
public | schema_migrations | table | jbranchaud | 16 kB |
public | users | table | jbranchaud | 16 kB |
```
