DB2 To PostgreSQL Migration

-
This set of Scripts converts as much as possible of a DB2 UDB database. It does not work with DB2 zOS.
1- Extract your database schema with db2look. This will generate a db2 SQL script
db2look -d my_database_name -e -l -xd -o my_db2_sql_script
2- Launch db2topg.pl against the db2 SQL script. This will produce 3 Postgres SQL scripts:
./db2topg.pl -f my_db2_sql_script -o my_output_dir -d db2_dbname -u db2_user -p db2_pwd
  • before.sql must be run before importing data. It contains the creation statements of tables, sequences, tablespaces (if you asked for them, which you probably don't want), roles.
  • after.sql must be run after importing data. It contains the creation statements of indexes, and most constraints.
  • unsure.sql contains everything that may have to be converted: views, triggers, check constraints…
3- Run the before.sql script on PosgreSQL.
psql -e --set=ON_ERROR_STOP=1 --single-transaction -f before.sql my_ postgres_database
You can also use or not the ON_ERROR_STOP and --single-transaction parameters, depending on wether you want the script to stop on error, and cancel everything. This remark holds true for all following psql commands
4- Extract the data from db2 with something like /path/to/db2 -f export.db2
5- Load the data into PostgreSQL with  
deltocopy -d my_output_dir | psql -e --set=ON_ERROR_STOP=1 my_ postgres_database
deltocopy produces all the COPY statements to load data into PostgreSQL to its stdout. You may add a -e option to specify encoding.
To get the full list of supported encodings in Perl:
perl -e 'use Encode; print join("\n",Encode->encodings(":all"));'
If you are in a hurry, and your server can bear it, there is a parallel mode. I advise you to only use it when you have validated that everything is ok at least once:
time deltocopy.pl -d my_output_dir -j 12 -o 'psql mydb' 2>&1 | tee import_log (time is optional, it's just to measure how fast you go)

Adapt the -o option to your needs, it's the command that each parallel instance will use to output data to PostgreSQL. It must connect to the correct database, with no password.

6- Run the after.sql script on PosgreSQL
psql -e --set=ON_ERROR_STOP=1 --single-transaction -f after.sql my_ postgres_database
7- Run the unsure.sql script on PosgreSQL. Watch it fail and fix the statements that could not be translated automatically.
psql -e -f unsure.sql my_postgres_database
8- Launch a VACUUM ANALYZE and And clear the dead tubles(fragmentation)

PostgreSQL pgBadger

-
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 errors or rem…

PostgreSQL Pgbadger Installation On Linux

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. Queries (total number of executions, maxi…

How to configure Replication Manager (repmgr) ?

-
`repmgr` is a suite of open-source tools to manage replication and failover within a cluster of PostgreSQL servers. It enhances PostgreSQL's built-in replication capabilities with utilities to set up standby servers, monitor replication, and perform administrative tasks such as failover or switchover operations. The current `repmgr` version (3.3) supports all PostgreSQL versions from 9.3 to 9.6. Overview The repmgr suite provides two main tools:1.repmgr - a command-line tool used to perform administrative tasks such as: - setting up standby servers - promoting a standby server to master - switching over master and standby servers - displaying the status of servers in the replication cluster 2.repmgrd is a daemon which actively monitors servers in a replication cluster and performs the following tasks: - monitoring and recording replication performance - performing failover by detecting failure of the master and promoting the most suitabl…

How To Schedule PostgreSQL Jobs using pgAgent on Linux plateform

-
Image
Taking regular SQL database backup is one of the most important responsibilities of a database administrator. By setting up automatic database backup we can get rid of the additional overhead of doing it manually, every day, week or month. When it comes to PostgreSQL running in any Unix distributions or in Windows, there are at least two ways to do it. Using the built in CronJobs/ CronTabs in case of  Linux, and Windows scheduled tasks in Windows .Using PostgreSQL’s own scheduling agent, pgAgent.Often DBAs tends to rely on CronTabs or Scheduled tasked because of the ease of use it offers. But there are several advantages if you use pgAgent instead. Though it takes a little effort to install pgAgent, it is much better than Cron jobs or Scheduled tasks.
Why use pgAgent over CronJob:Compared to CronTab, PgAgent has the following advantages: 

You can have multiple steps for a job without having to resort to a batch script.You can have multiple schedules for a job without having to repeat the…

Script to kill ALL IDLE Connection In postgreSQL

1.MORE I/O POSTGRESQL KILLING ALL IDLE CONNECTION FOR MONITORING PURPOSES:
This following script is used for killing all idle connection and you can use it as a monitoring puposes like how many idle query is running for a hour and how many 'idle', 'idle in transaction', 'idle in transaction (aborted)' and  'disabled' queries are running for a hour and when it killed and how many hours is taken,schedule this script every one hours don't schedule it every 2 minutes and 1 minutes because it will be taken more I/O(4 times) than following second script,if you want shedule this script every 1 or 2 minutes use second script it will take less I/O.
cat /home/postgres/idle.sh #!/bin/bash HOSTNAME=`hostname` PSQL="/opt/PostgreSQL/9.3/bin/psql" PORT=5432 HOST="localhost" DB="template1" USER="postgres" DATE2=`date +'%d%m%G'` DETAIL2="/tmp/KILL_ALL_IDLE_$DATE2.log" touch $DETAIL2 IDLECONNTIME2=`$PSQL -d $DB…
