Pg_Cancel_Backend Vs Pg_Terminate_Backend In Postgresql

-
1.To test this functionality we will take a look at the below 2 sessions (one IDLE and one running. )
gpadmin=# select datname,usename,procpid,sess_id,current_query from pg_stat_activity ;
datname |    usename    | procpid | sess_id |                                current_query                                 
---------+---------------+---------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gpadmin | running_user1 |   24174 |      26 | insert into test_table values (generate_series(1,100000000000));
gpadmin | idle_user1    |   24285 |      27 | <IDLE>
gpadmin | gpadmin       |   23494 |      21 | select datname,usename,procpid,sess_id,current_query from pg_stat_activity ;
(3 rows)

2.pg_cancel_backend()
pg_cancel_backend (procpid from pg_stat_activity ) should be used when query is running, the function will not impact when the session is IDLE.

gpadmin=# select pg_cancel_backend(24174) ;
pg_cancel_backend
-------------------
t
(1 row)

note:- Canceling the query may take some time depending on the cleanup/rollback of the transactions.

3.pg_terminate_backend()
pg_terminate_backend (procpid from pg_stat_activity) should be used for terminating IDLE sessions, avoid using them on an active query or where the session is not <IDLE> ..

gpadmin=# select pg_terminate_backend(24285) ;
pg_terminate_backend
----------------------
t
(1 row)

4.State of pg_stat_activity after running the above two commands:

gpadmin=# select datname,usename,procpid,sess_id,current_query from pg_stat_activity ;
datname | usename       | procpid | sess_id | current_query
---------+---------------+---------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gpadmin | running_user1 | 24174   | 26      |  <IDLE>
gpadmin | gpadmin       | 23494   | 21      | select datname,usename,procpid,sess_id,current_query from pg_stat_activity ;
(2 rows)

   The IDLE session that you have witnessed again above is after we have cancelled the query through pg_cancel_backend, the query has been cancelled by the function but the user session still is connected.

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 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

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

7 Steps to configure BDR replication in postgresql

-
Image
 The  BDR  (Bi-Directional Replication) project adds multi-master replication to PostgreSQL 9.4.  Postgres-BDR has a lower impact on the masters(s) than trigger-based replication solutions. There is no write-amplification, as it does not require triggers to write to queue tables in order to replicate writes.   Here We are using  postgres version 9.4.12 and bdr version 1.0.2. for configuring  multi master replication . Simply Following 7 steps you can configure the multi master replication in postgresql. To download the bdr in below link. .   https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/bdr/archive/bdr-pg/REL9_4_12-1.tar.gz $ tar -xzvf REL9_4_12-1.tar.gz $ wget https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/bdr/archive/bdr-plugin/1.0.2.tar.gz $ tar -xzvf 1.0.2.tar.gz 1. To install BDR. $ cd ~/bdr-bdr-pg-REL9_4_12-1 $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/lib/postgresql/9.4 --enable-debug --with-openssl $ make -j4 -s install-world $ cd ~/bdr-bdr-plugin-1.0.2 $ PATH=/usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/bin:"$PATH" ./c

PostgreSQL Pgbadger Installation On Linux

-
Image
PgBadger is a tool that analyzes PostgreSQL log files and generates reports on execution of SQL and server operation. Statistical reports analyzed from a number of perspectives can be useful not only for grasping the usual database operation but also as a hint for performance improvement. The report output by pgBadger has the following features. Graph output in HTML format Many statistical objects Daily, Weekly unit creation possible 1.Graph output in HTML format Many of the analysis results can be displayed in graph form by outputting the report in HTML format (output in text format or JSON format is also possible). By analyzing the log information graphed, it is much more prospective for people to see than the raw log data. So, if you do not need to handle it with another tool separately, we recommend report output in HTML format. 2.Many statistical objects A lot of data useful for database performance analysis is output in the report as shown below.
