Space occupied by a column

Sainath0907Feb 19 2015 — edited Feb 20 2015

Hi,

I want to find out the total space occupied by a column of a table. The table I have is of size 2TB size having some 20 columns.

I wanted to find out how much space can be saved if I removed a column from the table.

I have tried multiplying the number of rows with avg_col_len, but I don't know if the result is right or wrong.

Please guide me through this issue.

Thanks

Sainath
