twenty bytes in length. The flat file would be 2.8 MB. The size of the
PostgreSQL database file containing this data can be estimated as 6.4
MB:
32 bytes: each row header (approximate)
28 bytes: each row header (approximate)
24 bytes: one int field and one text field
+ 4 bytes: pointer on page to tuple
----------------------------------------
60 bytes per row
56 bytes per row
The data page size in PostgreSQL is 8192 bytes (8 KB), so:
8192 bytes per page
------------------- = 136 rows per database page (rounded down)
60 bytes per row
------------------- = 146 rows per database page (rounded down)
56 bytes per row
100000 data rows
-------------------- = 735 database pages (rounded up)
128 rows per page
-------------------- = 685 database pages (rounded up)
146 rows per page
735 database pages * 8192 bytes per page = 6,021,120 bytes (6 MB)
685 database pages * 8192 bytes per page = 5,611,520 bytes (5.6 MB)
Indexes do not require as much overhead, but do contain the data that
is being indexed, so they can be large also.
