Database Storage - Raw and Compressed Size

Jim_Knicely

One of the files generated by the /opt/vertica/scripts/collect_diag_dump.sh script details the raw and compressed size for every table in the Vertica database.

At the bottom of the report there is a “total” line that shows the database raw and compressed size!

Example:

[dbadmin@vertica8 ~]$ /opt/vertica/scripts/collect_diag_dump.sh -c -s false
Database Password:
Exporting profiling data........ Done
Exporting catalog and design.. Done
Computing compression  Done
Forming archive file  Done
Diagnostics dump available at ./diag_dump_20181008102602.tar.gz

[dbadmin@vertica8 ~]$ tar -xvzf ./diag_dump_20181008102602.tar.gz
