phpPgAdmin is a web based administration tool for managing PostgreSQL database, it is very similar in look of phpMyAdmin. If you have a work experience on phpMyAdmin, you wont take much time in finding the way to work with. This guide will help you to setup phpPgAdmin on CentOS 7 / RHEL 7. Installing phpPgAdmin: Before installing, take a look at how to install PostgreSQL on CentOS 7. If you have followed PostgrqSQL install, you do not need to steup EPEL. Here is the link to setup EPEL repository on CentOS 7.
yum -y install phpPgAdmin php-pgsql httpd php
Configuring phpPgAdmin: Edit /etc/phpPgAdmin/config.inc.php file, we have to modify the admin file to enable the browser access. vi /etc/phpPgAdmin/config.inc.php
Add the localhost in the following server parameter.
$conf['servers'][0]['host'] = 'localhost';
If extra login security is true, then logins via phpPgAdmin with no password or certain usernames (pgsql, postgres, root, administrator) will be denied. To enable the postgres login, change it to false.
$conf['extra_login_security'] = false;
To simply hide other databases in the list make following condition to true – this does not in any way prevent your users from seeing other database by other means.
$conf['owned_only'] = true;
Configuring PostgreSQL: Modify config file to accept the authentication from the remote networks. vi /var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data/pg_hba.conf Please enter the value as per your requirements inIPv4 and Ipv6 connections and make sure it accepts md5 passwords.
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host all all 192.168.2.0/24 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 md5
Configuring Apche: By-default phpPgAdmin places the web config file in /etc/httpd/conf.d directory; it has the rules and access permission for the web access. In CentOS 7, web access is managed by mod_authz_core.c module; so normal allow or deny rules wont work even if you modify. vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpPgAdmin.conf Default config will look like below.
Alias /phpPgAdmin /usr/share/phpPgAdmin
<Location /phpPgAdmin>
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
# Apache 2.4
Require local
#Require host example.com
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
# Apache 2.2
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from ::1
# Allow from .example.com
</IfModule>
</Location>
Please comment Require local and add Require all granted just below to commented line, it will look like below.
Alias /phpPgAdmin /usr/share/phpPgAdmin
<Location /phpPgAdmin>
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
# Apache 2.4
# Require local
Require all granted
#Require host example.com
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
# Apache 2.2
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from ::1
# Allow from .example.com
</IfModule>

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)
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
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
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
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.
