 how to find out the database and table a file path refers to on PostgreSQL database ?

 There are three main patterns for paths:

  • 1.For files in the default tablespace: base/database_oid/filenode id for the relation
  • 2.For files in Non-default tablespace: pg_tblspc / tablespace_oid / tablespace_version_subdir / database_oid / filenode id for the relation
  • 3.For shared relations (see below): global/filenode id for the relation
1.For files in the default tablespace:
Tables’ file names aren’t necessarily the same as their oids in pg_class and  can change when VACUUM FULL, TRUNCATE, etc are run. 
For example:
billing_db=# \dt+
                    List of relations
 Schema | Name | Type  |  Owner   |  Size   | Description
--------+------+-------+----------+---------+-------------
 public | t1   | table | postgres | 0 bytes |
(1 row)

billing_db=# SELECT pg_relation_filepath('t1');
 pg_relation_filepath
----------------------
 base/18144/18146
(1 row)

billing_db=# insert into t1 values(2);
INSERT 0 1
billing_db=# insert into t1 values(2);
INSERT 0 1
billing_db=# insert into t1 values(2);
INSERT 0 1

billing_db=# SELECT pg_relation_filepath('t1');
 pg_relation_filepath
----------------------
 base/18144/18146
(1 row)

billing_db=# update t1 set id=1;
UPDATE 3
billing_db=# SELECT pg_relation_filepath('t1');
 pg_relation_filepath
----------------------
 base/18144/18146
(1 row)


billing_db=# vacuum t1;
VACUUM

billing_db=# SELECT pg_relation_filepath('t1');
 pg_relation_filepath
----------------------
 base/18144/18146
(1 row)

billing_db=# vacuum full t1;
VACUUM

billing_db=# SELECT pg_relation_filepath('t1');
 pg_relation_filepath
----------------------
 base/18144/18149
(1 row)
2.Non-default tablespace paths:
SELECT pg_relation_filepath('t1');
 pg_relation_filepath
----------------------
pg_tblspc / 16709 / PG_9.3_201306121 / 16499/19401

So the filename pattern breaks down to:
  • pg_tblspc: it’s in a non-default tablespace
  • 16709: it’s in the tablespace with oid 16709
  • PG_9.3_201306121: used by PostgreSQL 9.3 with catalog version 201306121.
  • 16499: in the database with oid 16499
  • 19401 the table with relfilenode id 19401

PostgreSQL Index

-
Image
Indexes are special lookup tables that the database search engine can use to speed up data retrieval. Simply put, an index is a pointer to data in a table. An index in a database is very similar to an index in the back of a book. For example, if you want to reference all pages in a book that discusses a certain topic, you have to first refer to the index, which lists all topics alphabetically and then refer to one or more specific page numbers. An index helps to speed up SELECT queries and WHERE clauses; however, it slows down data input, with UPDATE and INSERT statements. Indexes can be created or dropped with no effect on the data. Creating an index involves the CREATE INDEX statement, which allows you to name the index, to specify the table and which column or columns to index, and to indicate whether the index is in ascending or descending order. Indexes can also be unique, similar to the UNIQUE constraint, in that the index prevents duplicate entries in the column or combina...

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)
