PostgreSQL performance Tuning autovacuum

-
Questions:
I was unable to disable autovacuum universally (due to the
cant_change_runtime_param error) but I was able to disable it on individual
tables. Still, I know this is heavy handed and sub-optimal. I tried set
autovacuum_naptime='6min' but got the same 55P02 error. Should/can I set
that per table?

I did look at autovacuum_vacuum_threshold and autovacuum_vacuum_scale_**factor
but couldn't make sense out of them. (Besides, I'd probably get the
same 55P02 error if I tried to change them.)
Ans:
Agreed, don't disable autovacuum.  It's not that demanding, and if you do
need it and forget to run it, it might cause you more problems.

I have a db that's on a VM that doesnt get hit very much.  I've noticed IO
is a little busy (we are talking small percents of percents less than one)
but still more that I thought should be happening on a db with next to no
 usage.

 I found setting autovacuum_naptime = 6min made the IO all but vanish.

And if I ever get a wild hair and blow some stuff away, the db will clean
up after me.

PostgreSQL application_name (string)

-
application_name  ( string ) The  application_name  can be any string of less than  NAMEDATALEN  characters (64 characters in a standard build). It is typically set by an application upon connection to the server. The name will be displayed in the  pg_stat_activity  view and included in CSV log entries. It can also be included in regular log entries via the  log_line_prefix  parameter. Only printable ASCII characters may be used in the  application_name  value. Other characters will be replaced with question marks ( ? ). debug_print_parse  ( boolean ) debug_print_rewritten  ( boolean ) debug_print_plan  ( boolean ) These parameters enable various debugging output to be emitted. When set, they print the resulting parse tree, the query rewriter output, or the execution plan for each executed query. These messages are emitted at  LOG  message level, so by default they will appear in the server log but w...

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)

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 the...
