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.

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 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)

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
