find Version and Release Information

-
In this post, I am sharing basic commands to check the PostgreSQL version information.
PostgreSQL Database Administrator can use this command to find the version number, release version name of PostgreSQL.
During the migration activities, we require to check the numeric version number instead of a full version name.
At that time, we can use below commands to get the numeric version number.
First, Get PostgreSQL Version name:
SELECT VERSION();
 
/* Sample Result:
version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 9.5.3, compiled by Visual C++ build 1800, 32-bit
*/


Get only PostgreSQL Version:

SHOW SERVER_VERSION;
 
/*Sample Result:
server_version
-----------------------
9.5.3
*/

Get PostgreSQL Version Number:

SELECT current_setting('server_version_num');
 
/* Sample Result:
current_setting
-------------------------
90503
*/

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

Postgres Database Patch

-
If you are used to patch Oracle databases you probably know how to use opatch to apply PSUs. How does PostgreSQL handle this? Do we need to patch the existing binaries to apply security fixes? The answer is: No.Lets say you want to patch PostgreSQL from version 10.5/11.3 to version 10.10/11.5. This is called minor version postgres upgrade or postgres patching Why need to patch postgresql server  ? Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities have been discovered in PostgreSQL that could allow for arbitrary code execution. The vulnerabilities are the result of the application’s failure to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input before using it in an SQL query. These vulnerabilities allow attackers with the CREATE permission (or Trigger permission in some tables) to exploit input sanitation vulnerabilities in the pg_upgrade and pg_dump functions. The CREATE permission is automatically given to new users on the public schema, and the public schema is the default schema used on these d

PostgreSQL Pgbadger Installation On Linux

Image
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.
