 Amazon Redshift will no longer support the creation of new Python UDFs starting Patch 198. Existing Python UDFs will continue to function until June 30, 2026. For more information, see the [ blog post ](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/amazon-redshift-python-user-defined-functions-will-reach-end-of-support-after-june-30-2026/).

 Returns the binary in-memory size of a `SUPER` type constant or expression as an `INTEGER`.

```

## Arguments
<a name="r_SIZE-parameters"></a>

*super\$1expression*

## Return type
<a name="r_SIZE-returns"></a>

`INTEGER`

## Examples
<a name="r_SIZE-examples"></a>

 To use SIZE to get the in-memory size of several `SUPER` type expressions, use the following example. 

```
CREATE TABLE test_super_size(a SUPER);
            
INSERT INTO test_super_size 
VALUES
  (null),
  (TRUE),
  (JSON_PARSE('[0,1,2,3]')),
  (JSON_PARSE('{"a":0,"b":1,"c":2,"d":3}'))
;

SELECT a, SIZE(a) 
FROM test_super_size 
ORDER BY 2, 1;

+---------------------------+------+
|             a             | size |
+---------------------------+------+
| true                      |    4 |
| NULL                      |    4 |
| [0,1,2,3]                 |   23 |
| {"a":0,"b":1,"c":2,"d":3} |   52 |
