Differences between BDR and trigger-based replication

-

There are a number of trigger-based logical replication solutions for PostgreSQL, including Londiste, Slony-I and Bucardo. They're mature, fairly widely used and powerful, and like BDR they have the advantages (and disadvantages) of logical replication.
As with the comparison with physical replication, BDR offers advantages over trigger-based replication solutions but also has some downsides.
All trigger-based replication solutions suffer from inherent write-amplification, where each write to the database produces a corresponding write to a replication log table. Both the original write and the write to the replication log get recorded in WAL as well as the heap, so each write actually happens four times. By reading and processing WAL for data to replicate BDR avoids this write amplification, so writes to a BDR-replicated database only get written twice - like any other durable write on PostgreSQL.
Trigger-based replication also requires an external dæmon process on the sending and/or receiving side. BDR runs its management processes inside PostgreSQL itself, so there's no separate replication process to manage.
At the time of writing, systems like Londiste have a number of features for which BDR has no corresponding capability. Londiste can synchronise and compare tables between the publisher and subscriber. Slony-I supports events and confirmations. Slony-I provides infrastructure for handling DDL while also running on unmodified PostgreSQL 9.4. Bucardo supports multi-master on unmodified PostgreSQL 9.4. So while BDR offers some significant benefits it won't suit every need and every workload. Evaluate your needs carefully before choosing a technology.

PostgreSQL DOMAIN Data Type -2

PRACTICAL 2 .CREATION OF DOMAIN WITHOUT CONSTRAINT: Consider the following scenario on PostgreSQL 9.3: Step 1 .Create a domain with no constraints: postgres=# CREATE DOMAIN zipcode AS text; CREATE DOMAIN Step 2 .Add a named constraint: postgres=# ALTER DOMAIN zipcode ADD CONSTRAINT zipcheck CHECK (char_length(VALUE) = 3); ALTER DOMAIN Step 3 .Check the Domain whether created or not: postgres=# \dD List of domains Schema | Name | Type | Modifier | Check --------+-------------+------+----------+------------------------------------------------------------------ public | postal_code | text | | CHECK (VALUE ~ '^\d{5}$'::text OR VALUE ~ '^\d{5}-\d{4}$'::text) public | zipcode | text | | CHECK (char_length(VALUE) = 3) (2 rows) Step 4 .Ctreate a table using "zipcode" Data type postgres=# create table details (name...

Postgres Database Patch

-
If you are used to patch Oracle databases you probably know how to use opatch to apply PSUs. How does PostgreSQL handle this? Do we need to patch the existing binaries to apply security fixes? The answer is: No.Lets say you want to patch PostgreSQL from version 10.5/11.3 to version 10.10/11.5. This is called minor version postgres upgrade or postgres patching Why need to patch postgresql server  ? Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities have been discovered in PostgreSQL that could allow for arbitrary code execution. The vulnerabilities are the result of the application’s failure to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input before using it in an SQL query. These vulnerabilities allow attackers with the CREATE permission (or Trigger permission in some tables) to exploit input sanitation vulnerabilities in the pg_upgrade and pg_dump functions. The CREATE permission is automatically given to new users on the public schema, and the public schema is the default schema used on the...

How to find the server is whether standby (slave) or primary(master) in Postgresql replication ?

-
Method 1 You can check the mode of the server using "pg_controldata". [pgsql@test~]$ pg_controldata /usr/local/pgsql/data84/ Database cluster state: in archive recovery --> This is Standby Database Database cluster state: in production --> This is Production Database [Master] Method 2 You can use pg_is_in_recovery() which returns True if recovery is still in progress(so the server is running in standby mode or slave) postgres=# select pg_is_in_recovery(); pg_is_in_recovery ------------------- t (1 row) If Return    false   so the server is running in primary mode or master postgres=# select pg_is_in_recovery(); pg_is_in_recovery ------------------- f (1 row)

PostgreSQL Enterprise Manager - PEM Monitoring Tools

-
Image
Database administration and management is required for any database on which there are continuous business transactions.  If databases across enterprises are not monitored and maintained, then such databases are vulnerable to disasters, which eventually brings downtime to missions-critical application and, of course, it will incur losses in the business. Data is now one of the key assets for running a business, globally. Hence, it is one of the major responsibilities of enterprises to invest in resources for database monitoring and management. There are many database management and monitoring tools available for proactive database monitoring. In this article, we will look at  PEM – “PostgreSQL Enterprise Manager” .Enterprise Manager, or PEM, is a graphical database management/monitoring tool that can help database administrators, system administrators, database developers, database managers, system architects, and performance analysts manage databases efficiently and proacti...
