What are the Shared and non shared Storage In Oracle RAC 10g

-
Bottom line is that all the participating instances of an Oracle RAC database must have access to the shared data files, redo log files and control files. At the same time, the physical host level cluster consisting of physical nodes needs to have shared access to the quorum disk, voting disk and OCR file. If you are using the vendor provided cluster manager, you may still need the appropriate quorum disk as prescribed in the cluster manager software. The Oracle provided Cluster Ready Services (CRS) need voting disks and OCR files. There are other files, which may need to be shared. They include the files supporting the external tables. It is also recommended to have the archive log files destination on a shared file system.
The Following Diagram (Fig. 5.2) shows a collection of all the components that make up the RAC File structures. This diagram will provide us a road map for discussion as to how we can prepare these structures before we embark on creating the database and launch the database instances.
Of the files that we have shown above, most of them need to be on shared storage. There are some files that can be on a local file system, but it is recommended that they are placed on a shared file system. There are some file structures, which can very well reside on a local file system.
Let’s look at these three combinations:
1.  The following files reside on Shared Storage and are accessible by all the RAC instances at the same time.
  • Data Files, which make up the main data storage file structures
  • Control Files 
  • Parameter File (SPFILE) - Maintains a common spfile located on shared file system that is accessible to all the instances of the RAC database.
  • Password File that maintains the authentication privileges
  • Voting Disk File and OCR files that are used by the cluster ready services.
2.  The following files reside on Shared Storage and are accessible by a specific instance. However, under certain conditions like recovery etc., the files need to be available for other instances also.
  • Redo Log Files that record the instance specific transaction changes.
  • Files supporting the Undo Tablespace, used by a specific instance to maintain the read consistency 
  • Archive Log Files that are the saved redo log files
  • Files supporting the External Tables – External Tables are logical database objects that are accessible to all the instances.
The following are file structures, which are created, accessed and managed by a specific instance.
  • Alert Log File - keeps a running log of database changes and events.
  • Trace Files that provide detailed information about the database events.
  • Oracle Executables (Oracle Home Files). 
  • Oracle Cluster Ready Services (CRS) Home, which has all the binaries supporting the CRS.
However, note that with the use of the cluster file system it is possible to use a Shared Oracle Home and shared CRS Home. When using the cluster file system such as HP’s Tru64 CFS, Veritas CFS, Polyserve Matrix Server, you can maintain a single Oracle Home and share it among all the nodes of the cluster.While talking about the shared file structures, there are four combinations 
  • They can be on raw devices.
  • They can be on a Cluster File System (CFS). CFSs concurrently mounted on all the participating nodes of the cluster.
  • They can be accessed via the Automatic Storage Management (ASM) instance.
  • They can be located on Network File System.
Even though we have listed three types of shared storage structures, it is also possible to mix them so that some shared files can be on raw devices, some can locate on CFS and some can come out of ASM.

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
