You're suggesting to include the ACL+description in \dn and handler+description and \dA. Another option is to add pg_schema_size() and pg_am_size() without shortcuts in psql. That would avoid showing a potentially huge ACL when all one wants is the schema size, and would serve my purposes well enough to write | SELECT pg_namespace_size(oid), nspname FROM pg_namespace ORDER BY 1 DESC LIMIT 9; -- Justin
