How to Delete an Instance from an Oracle RAC Database

-
This article demonstrates how to delete an instance from an Oracle RAC database using the DBCA utility. The examples use a 2-node RAC installation with the following setup.
Oracle Version : 11.2.0.3.0
Database       : RAC
Instances      : RAC1, RAC2
Nodes          : ol5-112-rac1, ol5-112-rac2

Interactive Mode

On a node you want to keep, in this case "ol5-112-rac1", start the DBCA utility.
$ dbca
Select the "Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) database" option and click the "Next" button.
DBA - Welcome
Select the "Instance Management" option and click the "Next" button.
DBA - Operation
Select the "Delete an instance" option and click the "Next" button.
DBA - Instance Management
Make sure the appropriate cluster database is selected, enter the credentials for a user with SYSDBA privilege and click the "Next" button.
DBA - Cluster Database Selection
Select the instance to delete and click the "Next" button.
DBA - Instance Selection
You are presented with a similar screen again, but it now also has a "Finish" button. Click the "Finish" button.
DBA - Instance Selection
Click the "OK" button on the confirmation dialog.
DBA - Confirmation
Wait while the instance is deleted.
DBA - Processing
When asked if you want to perform another operation, click the "No" button to exit from the DBCA.
DBA - Another Operation

Silent Mode

We could have achieved the same result using the DBCA in silent mode with the following command.
$ dbca -silent -deleteInstance -nodeList ol5-112-rac2 -gdbName RAC -instanceName RAC2 -sysDBAUserName sys -sysDBAPassword myPassword

Look at the log file "/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/dbca/RAC.log" for further details.

Post-Delete Checks

Check the redo thread associated with the deleted node has been disabled. In this case we deleted the instance "RAC2" which was thread 2.
SQL> select distinct thread# from v$log;

   THREAD#
----------
  1

SQL>
If the thread associated with the deleted instance hans't been disabled, do it manually.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DISABLE THREAD 2;
Check the instance information has been deleted from the OCR.
$ srvctl config database -d RAC
Database unique name: RAC
Database name: RAC
Oracle home: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
Oracle user: oracle
Spfile: +DATA/RAC/spfileRAC.ora
Domain: localdomain
Start options: open
Stop options: immediate
Database role: PRIMARY
Management policy: AUTOMATIC
Server pools: RAC
Database instances: RAC1
Disk Groups: DATA
Mount point paths: 
Services: BATCH_SERVICE,OLTP_SERVICE
Type: RAC
Database is administrator managed
[oracle@ol5-112-rac1 ~]$

Remember to edit any service definitions that related to the deleted node.

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)

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

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
