Considering you are using PHP  +PostgreSQL

You  can use the pg_user table
Just you have to  do is
1. Make two cookies variable each storing the password  and user name
2. Now in the Database connection string use the user name as the var in
Cookie and password same so it would be like
    pg_connect(blah , blah  user name=$COOKIE_VAR_USERNAME , password
=$COOKIE_VAR_PASSWORD)
Benefits
1. You will be able to use current_user() function
2. No user management system required PostgreSQL user is ur web user
3. PostgreSQL group will define levels

I doubt but you may see
contrib/database_size function

If this helps then pass on the word "PostgreSQL is Walah !" and kindly
shoot back
