[GENERAL] pg_dump estimation

[Marcelo Martins]

is there a way to find out / calculate / estimate how big a pg_dump  
using plain text format for a DB will be ?
I have this system with a 7.4 version and a DB that is over 60GB and I  
know that the admins have never done a vacuum there.
The system only has about 20GB of free space so I don't want to take  
any chances of filling up the disk due to a pg_dump  you know.

thanks,
