ALTER – alters the structure of the existing database
CREATE – to create database and its objects like (table, index, views, store procedure, function and triggers)
DROP – delete objects from the database(Delete "data+metadata")
TRUNCATE – remove all records from a table, including all spaces allocated for the records are removed(Delete "data only performance is faster than delete")
COMMENT – add comments to the data dictionary
RENAME – rename an object

UPDATE – updates existing data within a table
DELETE – Delete all records from a database table
MERGE – UPSERT operation (insert or update)
CALL – call a PL/SQL or Java subprogram
EXPLAIN PLAN – interpretation of the data access path
LOCK TABLE – concurrency Control

3.DRL-Data retrieval language. which is used to retrieve data from database
It's not a autocommit.it will save when u issue commit commands
SELECT - Retrieves data from a table

4.DCL-Data Control Language. which is used to create roles, permissions, and referential integrity as well it is used to control access to database by securing it.

GRANT – Gives user’s access privileges to database
REVOKE – Withdraws user’s access privileges to database given with the GRANT command

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)

How to Return a Result Set from a PostgreSQL Stored Procedure

Image
Both stored procedures and user-defined functions are created with CREATE FUNCTION statement in PostgreSQL. To return one or more result sets (cursors in terms of PostgreSQL), you have to use  refcursor  return type. Quick Example : -- Procedure that returns a single result set (cursor) CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION show_cities ( ) RETURNS refcursor AS $$ DECLARE ref refcursor; -- Declare a cursor variable BEGIN OPEN ref FOR SELECT city , state FROM cities; -- Open a cursor RETURN ref; -- Return the cursor to the caller END ; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; Overview : Return Multiple Result Sets Cursor Lifetime Until the  end  of transaction Auto-commit Must be  off Transaction must be active so the caller can see a result set Important Note : The cursor remains open until the end of transaction, and since PostgreSQL works

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

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

vacuumlo - removing large objects orphans from a database PostgreSQL

vacuumlo   is a simple utility program that will remove any   “ orphaned ”   large objects from a   PostgreSQL   database. An orphaned large object (LO) is considered to be any LO whose OID does not appear in any   oid   or   lo   data column of the database. OIDs basically give you a built-in, globally unique id for every row,default is on( default_with_oids ( boolean )). If you use this, you may also be interested in the   lo_manage   trigger in the   lo   module.   lo_manage   is useful to try to avoid creating orphaned LOs in the first place. More about lo module  there are two ways to store large objects in the PostgreSQL:   bytea oid and lo  Working process of vacuumlo: First, vacuumlo builds a temporary table which contains all of the OIDs of the large objects in the selected database. It then scans through all columns in the database that are of type oid or lo, and removes matching entries from the temporary table. (Note: only types with these names are con
