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

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)

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 err

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

Postgres Database Patch

-
If you are used to patch Oracle databases you probably know how to use opatch to apply PSUs. How does PostgreSQL handle this? Do we need to patch the existing binaries to apply security fixes? The answer is: No.Lets say you want to patch PostgreSQL from version 10.5/11.3 to version 10.10/11.5. This is called minor version postgres upgrade or postgres patching Why need to patch postgresql server  ? Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities have been discovered in PostgreSQL that could allow for arbitrary code execution. The vulnerabilities are the result of the application’s failure to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input before using it in an SQL query. These vulnerabilities allow attackers with the CREATE permission (or Trigger permission in some tables) to exploit input sanitation vulnerabilities in the pg_upgrade and pg_dump functions. The CREATE permission is automatically given to new users on the public schema, and the public schema is the default schema used on these d
