I have an application for PostgreSQL which may create some pretty huge
databases. I need some way to estimate how much physical disk space will
be required. I know the exact record structure and indexing schemes to
be used, and a rough idea of the number of rows I'll need. Given that,
how can I determine the physical disk space requirements?

Thanks in advance,

Bryan
