PostgreSQL Unattended Mode Installation

-
 I am using Postgres 9.3.3.1 on Windows (32-Bit Windows 7 Professional).
 I use the installer executable postgresql-9.3.3-1-windows.exe with the
 option "--optionfile <file>"> 
The option file has the following content (the ${..} are replaced with correct
 #mode=unattended
 datadir=${program.base}data
 prefix=${program.base}
 serverport=${postgres.port}
 superaccount=postgres
 superpassword=${postgres.passwd}
 unattendedmodeui=minimalWithDialogs
 servicename=${postgres.service.name}
1) If the "mode" property is enabled to mode=unattended, the installation
works silent but the whole 'data' folder is missing after installation (the first
error message will occur when the server-startup failes after installation).
2) If the "mode" property is disabled, the Installer interface appears.
Everything is correctly set, I need only to press the <next> button. The
Installation completes correctly.

Why does my unattended installation as described in 1) fail, but 2) succeeds?
Here are options that I use for unattended install (and it creates cluster with Postgres, template0, and template1 databases, which means data directory and all its subdirectories are created too):
SET INSTALLOPTIONS=--unattendedmodeui none
SET INSTALLOPTIONS=%INSTALLOPTIONS% --mode unattended

Also, you are missing settings for servicesaccount, servicepassword, and locale, e.g.:
SET INSTALLOPTIONS=%INSTALLOPTIONS% --locale C
SET INSTALLOPTIONS=%INSTALLOPTIONS% --serviceaccount postgres
SET INSTALLOPTIONS=%INSTALLOPTIONS% --servicepassword pg_password123
In general, to diagnose (silent or not) installation problems find "bitrock" installer log somewhere under DocumentsandSettings for OS user that runs installation.

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)

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.

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.
