 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 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. Queries (total number of executions, maxi…

PostgreSQL Sequence

-
A sequence in PostgreSQL is a database object that is essentially an automatically incrementing numeric value. For this reason, sequences are commonly known in other database products as auto-increment values. Sequences can be extremely useful in assigning non-random, unique identification numbers to tables that require such values. A sequence consists of a current numeric value, and a set of characteristics that determine how to automatically increment (or alternatively, decrement) that value upon use.
Along with its current value, a sequence also includes a minimum value, a maximum value, a starting value, and the amount to increment the sequence by. This increment is usually 1, but may be any whole integer.
In practice, sequences are not meant to be accessed directly. Instead, they are used through a set of functions built into PostgreSQL which either set, increment, or return the current value of the sequence.
Creating a sequence Sequences are created with the CREATE SEQUE…

How to configure Replication Manager (repmgr) ?

-
`repmgr` is a suite of open-source tools to manage replication and failover within a cluster of PostgreSQL servers. It enhances PostgreSQL's built-in replication capabilities with utilities to set up standby servers, monitor replication, and perform administrative tasks such as failover or switchover operations. The current `repmgr` version (3.3) supports all PostgreSQL versions from 9.3 to 9.6. Overview The repmgr suite provides two main tools:1.repmgr - a command-line tool used to perform administrative tasks such as: - setting up standby servers - promoting a standby server to master - switching over master and standby servers - displaying the status of servers in the replication cluster 2.repmgrd is a daemon which actively monitors servers in a replication cluster and performs the following tasks: - monitoring and recording replication performance - performing failover by detecting failure of the master and promoting the most suitabl…

PostgreSQL pgBadger

-
pgBadger is a PostgreSQL log analyzer built for speed with fully reports from your PostgreSQL log file. It's a single and small Perl script that outperforms any other PostgreSQL log analyzer.It is written in pure Perl and uses a JavaScript library (flotr2) to draw graphs so that you don't need to install any additional Perl modules or other packages. Furthermore, this library gives us more features such as zooming. pgBadger also uses the Bootstrap JavaScript library and the FontAwesome webfont for better design. Everything is embedded.pgBadger is able to autodetect your log file format (syslog, stderr or csvlog). It is designed to parse huge log files as well as gzip compressed files. See a complete list of features below. Supported compressed format are gzip, bzip2 and xz. For the xz format you must have an xz version upper than 5.05 that supports the --robot option.All charts are zoomable and can be saved as PNG images.You can also limit pgBadger to only report errors or rem…
