Postgresql 系统相关函数介绍

Postgresql xlog 

先看下pg_xlog下物理文件的命名，大小在数据库编译安装的时候-with-wal-segsize指定

000000010000000200000019

XLogFileName宏里定义的，分别由时间线ID、日志ID、段ID的八位16进制数依次构成

日志ID最大为0xFFFFFFFFF，段ID最大为0x000000F

相关函数：

pg_current_xlog_insert_location()  获取写入wal buffer的事物号

pg_current_xlog_location()     获取写入wal日志的事物号

postgres=# select pg_current_xlog_location(),pg_current_xlog_insert_location();

 pg_current_xlog_location | pg_current_xlog_insert_location 

--------------------------+---------------------------------

 3C64/2EAC2000            | 3C64/2EAC2780

可以看到写入buffer是要早于写入wal日志的

pg_xlogfile_name() 把事务日志的位置字符串转换为文件名

postgres=# select pg_xlogfile_name('3C64/2EACBD08');

     pg_xlogfile_name     

--------------------------

 0000000300003C640000000B

 pg_xlogfile_name_offset()  把事务日志的位置字符串转换为文件名和文件内部十进制字节的偏移量

 postgres=# select pg_xlogfile_name_offset('3C64/2EACBD08');

       pg_xlogfile_name_offset       

-------------------------------------

 (0000000300003C640000000B,44875016)

可以通过以下语句查看插入buffer的位置和最后发送到standby节点的事物相差多少，是否有长时间的延迟

select pg_xlog_location_diff(pg_current_xlog_insert_location(),sent_location)  from pg_stat_replication;

Name	Return Type	Description
current_setting(setting_name)	text	获取当前参数值
set_config(setting_name, new_value, is_local)	text	设置新的参数值

  以下相关函数之前博客介绍过，不再详解

Name	Return Type	Description
pg_cancel_backend(pidint)	boolean	Cancel a backend's current query. You can execute this against another backend that has exactly the same role as the user calling the function. In all other cases, you must be a superuser.
pg_reload_conf()	boolean	Cause server processes to reload their configuration files
pg_rotate_logfile()	boolean	Rotate server's log file
pg_terminate_backend(pidint)	boolean	Terminate a backend. You can execute this against another backend that has exactly the same role as the user calling the function. In all other cases, you must be a superuser.

  备份控制函数

Name	Return Type	Description
pg_create_restore_point(name text)	pg_lsn	Create a named point for performing restore (restricted to superusers)
pg_current_xlog_insert_location()	pg_lsn	获取写入wal buffer的事物号
pg_current_xlog_location()	pg_lsn	获取写入wal日志的事物号
pg_start_backup(label text [, fast boolean ])	pg_lsn	主备在线备份开始
pg_stop_backup()	pg_lsn	在线备份结束
pg_is_in_backup()	bool	如果返回true，说明正在线备份
pg_backup_start_time()	timestamp with time zone	获取在线备份的开始时间
pg_switch_xlog()	pg_lsn	强制切换到新的事物日志
pg_xlogfile_name(location pg_lsn)	text	转换事物号为文件名
pg_xlogfile_name_offset(location pg_lsn)	text, integer	转换事物号为文件名，并带有十进制字节偏移量
pg_xlog_location_diff(location pg_lsn, location pg_lsn)	numeric	计算两个事物之间的相差多少字节

  恢复控制函数

Name	Return Type	Description
pg_is_in_recovery()	bool	如果返回true，说明在做recovery，流复制环境也就是说是备节点
pg_last_xlog_receive_location()	pg_lsn	Get last transaction log location received and synced to disk by streaming replication. While streaming replication is in progress this will increase monotonically. If recovery has completed this will remain static at the value of the last WAL record received and synced to disk during recovery.If streaming replication is disabled, or if it has not yet started, the function returns NULL.
pg_last_xlog_replay_location()	pg_lsn	Get last transaction log location replayed during recovery. If recovery is still in progress this will increase monotonically. If recovery has completed then this value will remain static at the value of the last WAL record applied during that recovery. When the server has been started normally without recovery the function returns NULL.
pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp()	timestamp with time zone	Get time stamp of last transaction replayed during recovery. This is the time at which the commit or abort WAL record for that transaction was generated on the primary. If no transactions have been replayed during recovery, this function returns NULL. Otherwise, if recovery is still in progress this will increase monotonically. If recovery has completed then this value will remain static at the value of the last transaction applied during that recovery. When the server has been started normally without recovery the function returns NULL.

Name	Return Type	Description
pg_is_xlog_replay_paused()	bool	如果recovery被暂停，那么这个函数返回true
pg_xlog_replay_pause()	void	暂停recovery
pg_xlog_replay_resume()	void	暂停后重新recovery

  这里如果是流复制，那么在备库执行pg_is_xlog_replay_paused()，可以查看备库是否暂停recovery，如果执行了pg_xlog_replay_pause(),那么备节点就 会暂停同步，再次执行pg_xlog_replay_resume()可以重新同步。

数据库对象大小查询函数

Name	Return Type	Description
pg_column_size(any)	int	查询列字节数
pg_database_size(oid)	bigint	通过OID查询数据库大小
pg_database_size(name)	bigint	通过数据库名称查询数据库大小
pg_indexes_size(regclass)	bigint	查询指定索引大小
pg_relation_size(relation regclass, fork text)	bigint	Disk space used by the specified fork ('main', 'fsm', 'vm', or 'init') of the specified table or index
pg_relation_size(relation regclass)	bigint	Shorthand for pg_relation_size(..., 'main')
pg_size_pretty(bigint)	text	格式化为64bit人类易读的形式
pg_size_pretty(numeric)	text	同上，只是格式化为numeric类型
pg_table_size(regclass)	bigint	查询指定表的大小，不包括索引，（但是包括 TOAST, free space map, and visibility map)
pg_tablespace_size(oid)	bigint	通过oid查询指定表空间的大小
