Terminate Postgresql Sessions

-
This blog post is based on a PostgreSQL 9.1 version.
problems:-
Sometimes you need to terminate connections initiated by badly behaving client application, or just make sure nobody is querying database during a major update.
The solution is to use pg_stat_activity view to identify and filter active database sessions and then use pg_terminate_backend function to terminate them.
To prevent access during an update process or any other important activity you can simply revoke connect permission for selected database users or alter pg_database system table.

Who is permitted terminate connections:-
Every database role with superuser rights is permitted to terminate database connections.

How to display database sessions
pg_stat_activity system view provides detailed information about server processes.
SELECT datname as database,
      procpid as pid,
      usename as username,
      application_name as application,
      client_addr as client_address,
      current_query
 FROM pg_stat_activity

Sample output that will be used in the following examples.
database | pid  | username | application | client_address |                                                                           current_query
----------+------+----------+-------------+----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
blog     | 8603 | blog     | blog_app    | 192.168.3.11   | select * from posts order by pub_date
postgres | 8979 | postgres | psql        |                | select datname as database,procpid as pid,usename as username,application_name as application, client_addr as client_address, current_query from pg_stat_activity
wiki     | 8706 | wiki     | wiki_app    | 192.168.3.8    |
(3 rows)


How to terminate all connections to the specified database
Use the following query to terminate all connections to the specified database.
SELECT pg_terminate_backend(procpid)
 FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE datname = 'wiki'

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
