3) Estimate the size of the transaction log

postgres doesn't have a 'transaction log', it has the WAL (Write-Ahead
Logs). These are typically 16MB each. on databases with a really heavy
write load, I might bump the checkpoint_segments as high as 60, which
seems to result in about 120 of them being created, 2GB total. these
files get reused, unless you are archiving them to implement a
continuous realtime backup system (which enables "PITR", Point in Time
Recovery)
