Enable Expensive Query log in PostgreSQL 9.4

1.       Tool : pg_stat_statements
a.       Enabling: to enable statement log add following entries to postgresql.conf and restart the database.
shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_stat_statements'
pg_stat_statements.max = 10000
pg_stat_statements.track = all

Login to database as super user and issue following command
CREATE extension pg_stat_statements;

b.      Monitor: Following SQL statement would show all the latest SQL statements executed on database server.  
select * from pg_stat_statements;

c.       Space & Recommendation: as value for pg_stat_statements.max is set to 10000, postgres would keep latest 10,000 SQLs and flush older ones. So the table size would remain in control. This could be enabled on production system as it has les performance cost.

2.       Tool : auto_explain
a.       Enabling: to enable execution plan log add following entries to postgresql.conf and restart the database.
shared_preload_libraries = 'auto_explain'
auto_explain.log_min_duration = '10s'
auto_explain.log_nested_statements = on

b.      Monitor: if query took more than 10 secs, postgres would log the SQL statement with its execution plan in server log file under pg_log.
c       Space & Recommendation: It consumes the space in server log file there is cost for log writing and disk space. We should enable this setting only when there is trouble. Enabling this would provide detail execution plan and query statistics.

Drop all Objects from Schema In Postgres

To Drop all objects from Postgres Schema there could be following two approaches: Drop Schema with cascade all and re-create it again.  In some cases where you dont want to/not allowed to drop and recreate schema, its easy to look for objects on current schema and drop them. following script would help to do so, Create function which would do the task and then drop that function too. --- CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION drop_DB_objects() RETURNS VOID AS $$ DECLARE  rd_object RECORD; v_idx_statement VARCHAR(500);   BEGIN ---1. Dropping all stored functions RAISE NOTICE '%', 'Dropping all stored functions...'; FOR rd_object IN ( SELECT format('%I.%I(%s)', ns.nspname, p.proname, oidvectortypes(p.proargtypes)) as functionDef     FROM pg_proc p     INNER JOIN pg_namespace ns ON (p.pronamespace = ns.oid)    WHERE ns.nspname = current_schema      AND p.proname <...

Distributed transaction in Oracle ( Over Oracle DBLink)

To fetch the data from one server to and other Oracle server over DBLink, I experienced the following facts of Oracle Distributed transactions: Security issue: -           We cannot create Public synonym for the remote object accessed over Private DBLink of other Database.   -           It’s allowed to create private synonym for remote object, but you cannot grant the access over this synonym to any other schema. If you try to provide the grants to other schema Oracle raises an error:              [ORA-02021: DDL operations are not allowed on a remote database] “In an all you can access remote objects over private DBLink in the same schema where DBLink is created”. Fetching the Ref Cursor at Remote site:                   Let’s say we have two site...

Vacuum Analyze Full Schema in PostgreSQL Database

To analyze full database schema, you can use following shell script : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh rm -rf /tmp/vacuum_analyze_MyData.sql dbname="mydata" username="mydatadatamart" namespace="mydatadatamart" # Vacuum only those tables which are fragmented over 30% # Analyze tables only if they are not already # Process CMF and Groups Master table every time as they are master Tables=`psql $dbname $username << EOF SELECT 'VACUUM ANALYZE VERBOSE ' || tablename || ' ;' AS TableList   FROM ( SELECT *,       n_dead_tup > av_threshold AS "av_needed",       CASE WHEN reltuples > 0      THEN round(100.0 * n_dead_tup / (reltuples))       ELSE 0       END AS pct_dead FROM (SELECT C.relname AS TableName, pg_stat_get_tuples_inserted(C.oid) AS n_tup_ins, pg_s...
