Find Out Table Size,Database Size,Tablespace Size,

-
Database Object Size Functions:-
The functions shows to calculate the disk space usage of database objects.
pg_column_size(any):- Number of bytes used to store a particular value (possibly compressed)
pg_database_size(oid):- Disk space used by the database with the specified OID
pg_database_size(name):- Disk space used by the database with the specified name
pg_indexes_size(regclass):- Total disk space used by indexes attached to the specified table
pg_relation_size(relation regclass, fork text):- Disk space used by the specified fork ('main', 'fsm', 'vm', or 'init') of the specified table or index
pg_relation_size(relation regclass):- Shorthand for pg_relation_size(..., 'main')
pg_size_pretty(bigint):- Converts a size in bytes expressed as a 64-bit integer into a human-readable format with size units
pg_size_pretty(numeric):- Converts a size in bytes expressed as a numeric value into a human-readable format with size units
pg_table_size(regclass):- Disk space used by the specified table, excluding indexes (but including TOAST, free space map, and visibility map)
pg_tablespace_size(oid):- Disk space used by the tablespace with the specified OID
pg_tablespace_size(name):- Disk space used by the tablespace with the specified name
pg_total_relation_size(regclass):- Total disk space used by the specified table, including all indexes and TOAST data


The storage space (in bytes) for one specific table:


ads=# select pg_relation_size('size_test');
pg_relation_size
------------------
5668864
(1 row)

Same query, but with the result in a human-readable format:
ads=# select pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('size_test'));
pg_size_pretty
----------------
5536 kB(1 row)

Remember that this is only the size of the table, not included an index or additional stuff.
The size including any index can be found out with:
ads=# select pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('size_test'));
pg_size_pretty
----------------
7656 kB
(1 row)

The size of a complete database:
ads=# select pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size('ads'));
pg_size_pretty
----------------
11 MB
(1 row)

You can even find out, how much space a specific value needs:
ads=# select pg_column_size(5::smallint);
pg_column_size
----------------
2
(1 row)

ads=# select pg_column_size(5::int);
pg_column_size
----------------
4
(1 row)

postgres=# SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_tablespace_size('my_tablespace'));
SELECT pg_relation_filepath('tablename');

ads=# select length('This is a string'::varchar);

ads=# select pg_column_size('This is a string'::varchar);

ads=# select pg_column_size(5::bigint);

ads=# select pg_column_size(5::bigint);
pg_column_size
----------------
8
(1 row)

ads=# select pg_column_size('This is a string'::varchar);
pg_column_size
----------------
20
(1 row)

ads=# select length('This is a string'::varchar);
length
--------
16
(1 row)

Viewing the path of a relation
SELECT pg_relation_filepath('tablename');

size of a postgresql tablespace
postgres=# SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_tablespace_size('my_tablespace'));
pg_size_pretty
----------------
118 MB
(1 row)

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)

How to Return a Result Set from a PostgreSQL Stored Procedure

-
Image
Both stored procedures and user-defined functions are created with CREATE FUNCTION statement in PostgreSQL. To return one or more result sets (cursors in terms of PostgreSQL), you have to use  refcursor  return type. Quick Example : -- Procedure that returns a single result set (cursor) CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION show_cities ( ) RETURNS refcursor AS $$ DECLARE ref refcursor; -- Declare a cursor variable BEGIN OPEN ref FOR SELECT city , state FROM cities; -- Open a cursor RETURN ref; -- Return the cursor to the caller END ; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; Overview : Return Multiple Result Sets Cursor Lifetime Until the  end  of transaction Auto-commit Must be  off Transaction must be active so the caller can see a result set Important Note : The cursor remains open until the end of transaction, and since PostgreSQL works

How to Get Table Size, Database Size, Indexes Size, schema Size, Tablespace Size, column Size in PostgreSQL Database

-
In this post, I am sharing few important function for finding the size of database, table and index in PostgreSQL. Finding object size in postgresql database is very important and common. Is it very useful to know the exact size occupied by the object at the tablespace. The object size in the following scripts is in GB. The scripts have been formatted to work very easily with PUTTY SQL Editor. 1. Checking table size excluding table dependency: SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('mhrordhu_shk.mut_kharedi_audit')); pg_size_pretty ---------------- 238 MB (1 row) 2. Checking table size including table dependency: SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('mhrordhu_shk.mut_kharedi_audit')); pg_size_pretty ---------------- 268 MB (1 row) 3. Finding individual postgresql database size SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size('db_name')); 4. Finding individual table size for postgresql database -including dependency index: SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_total_rel

PostgreSQL pgBadger

-
pgBadger is a PostgreSQL log analyzer built for speed with fully reports from your PostgreSQL log file. It's a single and small Perl script that outperforms any other PostgreSQL log analyzer. It is written in pure Perl and uses a JavaScript library (flotr2) to draw graphs so that you don't need to install any additional Perl modules or other packages. Furthermore, this library gives us more features such as zooming. pgBadger also uses the Bootstrap JavaScript library and the FontAwesome webfont for better design. Everything is embedded. pgBadger is able to autodetect your log file format (syslog, stderr or csvlog). It is designed to parse huge log files as well as gzip compressed files. See a complete list of features below. Supported compressed format are gzip, bzip2 and xz. For the xz format you must have an xz version upper than 5.05 that supports the --robot option. All charts are zoomable and can be saved as PNG images. You can also limit pgBadger to only report err

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 these d
