Steps of PostgreSQL (point in time recovery) PITR

-
in this post I will explained "how to perform point in time (PITR )" in postgreSQL Server and we can recover our database certain point using old backup and xlog (in PostgreSQL 10 wal log )

 1. root- mkdir walbkp basebkp
1.1 chown of both walbkp basebkp to enterprisedb


2. su - enterprisedb- navigate to data, mkdir wals.
2.1 change settings in vi postgresql.conf as below
archive_mode=on
archive_command='cp %p /opt/PostgresPlus/9.1AS/data/wals/%f'
wal_level=archive


3. root- restart the cluster using the command 
cd /etc/init.db
./ppas-9.1 restart


4. su - enterprised-- check inside the db where all the settings are been active, using
show archive_mode or show archive_command or show wal_level and make sure everything is active.


5. now create table t using pg_class & pg_description, to generate huge amount of data blocks.


6. while its being created, check whether blocks are moving to wals from pg_xlog.


7. now start a hotbackup, which is optional, but good to have in case primary backup failures.
using the command inside the db, 
edb=# select pg_switch_xlog(); -- to flush the wal buffer and move data to xlog.
edb=# select pg_start_backup('base'); - to start the hotbackup.

8. in root- navigate to basebkp, create a tar file for base cluster i.e data, using command
basebkp# tar -czvf /opt/PostgresPlus/9.1/data


9. su - enterprised-- inside the db, stop the hotbackup process using,
edb=# select pg_stop_backup(); 


10. create tables like t2,t3,t4 etc and also note its time of creation using select current_timestamp.
note: make sure tables are large in size, so use generate series to create huge entries.


11. once all the tables are created now crash the cluster using the command,
kill -9 $(head -1 /opt/PostgresPlus/9.1/data/postmaster.pid)


12. in root- mv data /olddata -- move crashed cluster.


13. now untar the base file in basebkp using
basebkp# tar -xzvf then u ll get a file opt
now navitage to this opt file as , cd opt/PostgresPlus/9.1AS
move this data to home directory location /opt/PostgresPlus/9.1AS


14. su - enterprisedb -- now restart the cluster using command,
./pg_ctl -D /opt/PostgresPlus/9.1AS/data/ restart -m f


15. connect to db and check whether initial table as been recovered.


16. then quit the db and then stop the cluster using command,
./pg_ctl -D /opt/PostgresPlus/9.1AS/data/stop -m f


17. in root- move the wals information from old cluster to walbkp using command,cd /opt/PostgresPlus/9.1AS/olddata/wals
mv 0* /opt/PostgresPlus/9.1AS/walbkp and make sure all enteries are in enterprisedb permission.


18. copy oldcluster pg_xlog to new cluster using the command,
cd /opt/PostgresPlus/9.1AS/olddata/pg_xlog
cp 0* /opt/PostgresPlus/9.1AS/data/pg_xlog ,L
note: we will prompt for overwritten for few enteries..


19. then create a recovery.conf in new cluster data..
cd /opt/PostgresPlus/9.1AS/data/
vi recovery.conf
inside the file, write below as,
restore_command='cp /opt/PostgresPlus/9.1AS/walbkp/%f %p'
recovery_target_time='time of table to b recovered' -- give till seconds i.e dd-mon-yy hh:mm:ss


20. su - enterprisedb, now start the cluster using command,
./pg_ctl -D /opt/PostgresPlus/9.1AS/data/ start


21. now the prob starts here as it cannot login to database when trying with ./psql edb.

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
