Size of transaction log

select sum((pg_stat_file('pg_xlog/' || file)).size)
from pg_ls_dir('pg_xlog') as file
where file ~ '^[0-9A-F]';

select relname,pg_relation_size(oid) as size
from pg_class
where relkind = 'r' and relname not like 'pg_%' order by size desc;

SELECT 
  nspname AS schemaname,relname,reltuples::int
FROM pg_class C
LEFT JOIN pg_namespace N ON (N.oid = C.relnamespace)
WHERE

  relkind='r' 
ORDER BY reltuples DESC;

Current query activity

select datid,datname,procpid,current_query,query_start from pg_stat_activity where current_query not like '<IDLE>' ;

To actually see queries you also have to edit postgresql.conf to include:

stats_command_string = yes

Quickly convert database table to SQLite
