Monetdb - tables size in the database

Question

I've loaded .tbl files in the tables, now how I can see the total space used on the disk by the database? I'm using Fedora

Answer 1

The disk footprint can be assessed using the (Linux) command 'du' on the dbfarm directory or to run the query 'select * from storage();

mclient -d dwh -f tab -s "select location from storage() where table='name_of_a_table';" | xargs -i du -m /var/monetdb5/dbfarm/dwh/bat/{}.tail | cut -f1 | paste -sd+ | bc
