1) how do I find out the size, in MB, of a particular table (called

I tried entering the SQL query SELECT (pg_tablespace_size('capture'));
The result was the following:
ERROR: tablespace "capture" does not exist
You're looking for pg_relation_size('capture') or
pg_total_relation_size('capture'). A tablespace is a named location for
creating objects.
Thanks but I still get the error 'ERROR: relation "capture" does not exist'
when trying these two alternative functions you mention above. There is
definitely a table called 'capture' in my database!
Is the schema for capture in your search_path? If not, include that in
the function call: function('yourschema.capture'). Otherwise, what
version are you on? I don't know when these functions were added;
perhaps you're stuck doing the math yourself on page counts in pg_class.
