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)

Amazon provides a fully functional free account for one year for users to use and learn the different components of AWS. You get access to AWS services like EC2, S3, DynamoDB, etc. for free.

postgreSQL Upgradation combination server

combination of these two resources: https://gist.github.com/tamoyal/2ea1fcdf99c819b4e07d and http://www.gab.lc/articles/migration_postgresql_9-3_to_9-4 The  second  one  helped more  then the first one. Also to not, don't follow the steps as is as some are not necessary. Also, if you are not being able to backup the data via postgres console, you can use alternative approach, and backup it with pgAdmin 3 or some other program, like I did in my case. Also, the link:  https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/serverguide/postgresql.html  Helped to set the encrypted password and set md5 for authenticating the postgres user. After all is done, to check the postgres  server  version run in terminal: sudo - u postgres psql postgres After entering the password run in postgres terminal: SHOW SERVER_VERSION ; It will output something like: server_version ---------------- 9.4.5 For setting and starting postgres I have used command: > sudo bash # root > su postgres #

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
