What's is the difference between streaming replication Vs hot standby vs warm standby ?

-
Warm Standby:
Its introduced in PostgreSQL 8.3(IIRC).
1. It is based on WAL log shipping which typically means WAL archives generated on Master will be transferred and applied at Standby side. So Warm Standby always waits for the WAL archive in which Master is currently writing and keeps throw messages like "cp: cannot stat <archive>: No such file or directory". So it is always one archive behind than Master and data loss will be max of 16MB(assuming a healthy warm standby by :-) )
2.called file based log shipping:only records in a filled file are shipped, what's referred to as file-based log-shipping
3.In postgresql.conf file, you would need to change just three parameters in master; wal_level to archive, archive_mode and archive_command, however nothing in postgresql.conf file at standby side.
On Master: 
wal_level = archive
archive_mode    = on
archive_command = 'cp %p /path_to/archive/%f'
4. In recovery.conf file, three parameters; standby_mode, restore_command and trigger_file.
5. You cannot connect to Standby, so database is not even open for read operations (or read operations are not permitted on db).

Hot Standby:
Its introduce in PostgreSQL 9.0.
1. It is also based on WAL log shipping(same as warm standby). And of-course, WALs will be transferred and applied at Standby, so one WAL behind and always waits for the WAL archive in which Master is currently writing.
2.called file based log shipping : only records in a filled file are shipped, what's referred to as file-based log-shipping
3. In postgresql.conf file, you would need to change wal_level to hot_standby, archive_mode and archive_command. Since you'll likely want to use pg_basebackup you should also set max_wal_senders to at least 2 or 3. And hot_stanby = on in standby conf file.
On Master:  
wal_level = hot_standby
max_wal_senders = 5
wal_keep_segments = 32
archive_mode    = on
archive_command = 'cp %p /path_to/archive/%f'

On Slave: 
hot_standby = on
4. In recovery.conf file, three parameters; standby_mode, restore_command and trigger_file. 4. You can connect to Standby for read queries(you should set hot_stanby to ON in standby postgresql.conf file).
 
Steaming Replication: 
 Its introduced in PostgreSQL 9.0.
1. XLOG records generated in the primary are periodically shipped to the standby via the network. XLOG records shipped are replayed as soon as possible without waiting until XLOG file has been filled. The combination of Hot Standby and SR would make the latest data inserted into the primary visible in the standby almost immediately. So minimal data loss(almost only open transactions will be lost if its async rep, 0 loss if it is sync rep)
2.Called Record based log shipping:XLOG records in partially-filled XLOG file are shipped too, implementing "record-based log-shipping" .
 3. In postgresql.conf file, this time 5 parameters, streaming related params like below:
On Master: 
wal_level = hot_standby 
max_wal_senders = 5 
wal_keep_segments = 32 
archive_mode    = on 
archive_command = 'cp %p /path_to/archive/%f'

On Slave: 
hot_standby=on
4. In recovery.conf file, you would need to an extra parameter including three which you add in hot/warm standby. i.e primary_conninfo, so below are four parameters:
standby_mode          = 'on'
primary_conninfo      = 'host=192.168.0.10 port=5432 user=postgres'
trigger_file = '/path_to/trigger'
restore_command = 'cp /path_to/archive/%f "%p"'
5. You can connect to Standby for read queries(you should set hot_stanby to ON in standby postgresql.conf file).

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
