To find out the size of a particular postgres database, use the system
function: pg_database_size(db_name). The function returns the db size
in bytes.
For example: select pg_database_size('mydb') ;

I don't believe user quota is implemented in postgres yet to
restrict/control user usage of tablespace.

Hey,

How can I determine and limit the size of a database.

If I can determine it only through sql, how can I prevent a user from
further inserting data.
