Question

What is the command to find the size of all the databases?

I am able to find the size of a specific database by using following command:

You can get the names of all the databases that you can connect to from the "pg_datbase" system table. Just apply the function to the names, as below.

select t1.datname AS db_name,  
       pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size(t1.datname)) as db_size
from pg_database t1
order by pg_database_size(t1.datname) desc;

If you intend the output to be consumed by a machine instead of a human, you can cut the pg_size_pretty() function.
