+# Check The Size Of Databases In A Cluster
+
+The `\l` command in `psql` will list all the databases for the server. The
+field surfaced by this meta-command are:
+
+- Name
+- Owner
+- Encoding
+- Locale Provider
+- Collate
+- Ctype
+- ICU Locale
+- ICU Rules
+- Access privileges
+
+If we add a `+`, issuing instead `\l+`, we get three additional fields:
+
+- Size
+- Tablespace
+- Description
+
+The _Size_ column is the human-formatted size of each database.
+
+Another way to do this is with some SQL querying the underlying record keeping
+of the server's database.
+
+```sql
+select
+  db.datname as db_name,
+  pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size(db.datname)) as db_size
+from pg_database db
+order by pg_database_size(db.datname) desc;
+```

+answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/18907188/535590) for how to do this with a
+SQL query.
