fixing orphaend Sequences in postgres-12 - postgresql

I'm trying to run pg_dump and it's failing due to a orphaned sequence.
pg_dump -U db --format=custom --compress=0 db
pg_dump: error: query to get data of sequence "non_existing_table_id_seq" returned 0 rows (expected 1)
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Fixing_Sequences
The above wiki page has some snippets which can be used to fix this issue, the last snippit does work to display the orphaned snippets.
select ns.nspname as schema_name, seq.relname as seq_name
from pg_class as seq
join pg_namespace ns on (seq.relnamespace=ns.oid)
where seq.relkind = 'S'
and not exists (select * from pg_depend where objid=seq.oid and deptype='a')
order by seq.relname;
schema_name | seq_name
-------------+--------------------------------
public | non_existing_table_id_seq
public | another_non_existing_table_id_seq
(2 rows)
The command which should fix this issue doesn't run because column d.adsrc does not exist
It seems to have been removed from postgres-12.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/58798028/1891184 says I can replace d.adsrc with pg_get_expr(d.adbin, d.adrelid). and that runs, however the issue still remains.
Other than this, the database is working fine.
How can I either fix or remove the offending sequences in order to let pg_dump work?

Equivalent of PRAGMA table_info(table) for Postgres SQL?

I am working with a script made for SQLite but I need to adapt it to a PostgreSQL database and this line is always returning an error:
PRAGMA table_info(table)
How can I get an equivalent result on postgres >
Found it !
SELECT *

How to fix “ERROR: column relhasoids does not exist” in phpPgAdmin?

I'm updating a Linux server with a new version of PostgreSql and I have an Error Message in phpPgAdmin when I browse a table.
The Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS server running Apache 2.4.41, PHP 7.3.11 and when I update to PostgreSQL 12.0 and phpPgAdmin 7.12.0 the error occurs. With PostgreSQL 11.5 and phpPgAdmin 5.6 I didn't have this problem.
I expect to visualize the data stored in the table using phpPgAdmin, but the actual output is:
SQL error:
ERROR: column «relhasoids» does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT relhasoids FROM pg_catalog.pg_class WHERE relname='pr...
In statement:
SELECT relhasoids FROM pg_catalog.pg_class WHERE relname='product'
AND relnamespace = (SELECT oid FROM pg_catalog.pg_namespace WHERE nspname='public')
Editing the file /usr/share/phppgadmin/classes/database/Postgres.php and comment line 1045 to line 1054 the error disappears:
function hasObjectID($table) {
$c_schema = $this->_schema;
$this->clean($c_schema);
$this->clean($table);
/*
$sql = "SELECT relhasoids FROM pg_catalog.pg_class WHERE relname='{$table}'
AND relnamespace = (SELECT oid FROM pg_catalog.pg_namespace WHERE nspname='{$c_schema}')";
$rs = $this->selectSet($sql);
if ($rs->recordCount() != 1) return null;
else {
$rs->fields['relhasoids'] = $this->phpBool($rs->fields['relhasoids']);
return $rs->fields['relhasoids'];
} */
}
This column does not exist anymore, since you cannot create tables with OID any longer.
From the documentation:
WITH ( storage_parameter [= value] [, ... ] )
This clause specifies optional storage parameters for a table or index; see Storage Parameters for more information. For backward-compatibility the WITH clause for a table can also include OIDS=FALSE to specify that rows of the new table should not contain OIDs (object identifiers), OIDS=TRUE is not supported anymore.
WITHOUT OIDS
This is backward-compatible syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS, creating a table WITH OIDS is not supported anymore.
This is because phpPgAdmin is not compatible with PostgreSQL v. 12. PostgreSQL v. 12 has removed the relhasoids column because of the new way that OIDs are handled. As of the time of this post, pgPgAdmin does not support PostgreSQL v. 12 (it is not listed on the website). You may need to look into alternate clients.

Tried following solutions that not work.

2) vacuum full not work
Any idea is appreciated :)
3) pg_basebackup worked too
It is local RAID file system.
It did not seem to work after REINDEX of all the tables.
I tried pg_dump of all tables 1-by-1 but did not spot anything weird.

pg_stat_statements enabled, but the table does not exist

I've postgresql-9.4 up and running, and I've enabled pg_stat_statements module lately by the help of official documentation.
But I'm getting following error upon usage:
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_stat_statements;
ERROR: relation "pg_stat_statements" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT * FROM pg_stat_statements;
postgres=# SELECT pg_stat_statements_reset();
ERROR: function pg_stat_statements_reset() does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT pg_stat_statements_reset();
I'm logged in to psql with the postgres user.
I've also checked the available extension lists:
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions WHERE name = 'pg_stat_statements'
;
name | default_version | installed_version | comment
--------------------+-----------------+-------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------
pg_stat_statements | 1.2 | | track execution statistics of all SQL statements executed
(1 row)
And here's the results of the extension versions query:
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_available_extension_versions WHERE name = 'pg_stat_statements';
name | version | installed | superuser | relocatable | schema | requires | comment
--------------------+---------+-----------+-----------+-------------+--------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------------
pg_stat_statements | 1.2 | f | t | t | | | track execution statistics of all SQL statements executed
(1 row)
Any help will be appreciated.
Extension isn't installed:
SELECT *
FROM pg_available_extensions
WHERE
name = 'pg_stat_statements' and
installed_version is not null;
If the table is empty, create the extension:
CREATE EXTENSION pg_stat_statements;
I've faced with this issue at configuring Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) because by some strange reason PMM connecting to database with name postgres, so pg_stat_statements extension have to be created in this database:
yourdb# \c postgres
postgres# CREATE EXTENSION pg_stat_statements SCHEMA public;
Follow below steps:
Create the extension
CREATE EXTENSION pg_stat_statements;
Change in config
alter system set shared_preload_libraries='pg_stat_statements';
Restart
$ systemctl restart postgresql
Verify changes applied or not.
select * from pg_file_Settings where name='shared_preload_libraries';
The applied attribute must be 'true'.
I Had the same issue when deploying the environment using liquibase for the first time.
I understand that my reply maybe is not related with your problem but was the first google result so I think that other guys like me can arrive here with my the same Liquibase Issue.
These are PosGreSQL metadata tables that are retrieved by liquibase when you generate your first xml file.
In my case it only was useless autogenerated code, so I solved it deleteing these lines:

PostgreSQL pgp_sym_encrypt() broken in version 9.1

The following works in PostgreSQL 8.4:
insert into credentials values('demo', pgp_sym_encrypt('password', 'longpassword'));
When I try it in version 9.1 I get this:
ERROR: function pgp_sym_encrypt(unknown, unknown) does not exist LINE
1: insert into credentials values('demo', pgp_sym_encrypt('pass...
^ HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add
explicit type casts.
*** Error ***
ERROR: function pgp_sym_encrypt(unknown, unknown) does not exist SQL
state: 42883 Hint: No function matches the given name and argument
types. You might need to add explicit type casts. Character: 40
If I try some explicit casts like this
insert into credentials values('demo', pgp_sym_encrypt(cast('password' as text), cast('longpassword' as text)))
I get a slightly different error message:
ERROR: function pgp_sym_encrypt(text, text) does not exist
I have pgcrypto installed. Does anyone have pgp_sym_encrypt() working in PostgreSQL 9.1?
On explanation could be that the module was installed into a schema that is not in your search path - or to the wrong database.
Diagnose your problem with this query and report back the output:
SELECT n.nspname, p.proname, pg_catalog.pg_get_function_arguments(p.oid) as params
FROM pg_catalog.pg_proc p
JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = p.pronamespace
WHERE p.proname ~~* '%pgp_sym_encrypt%'
AND pg_catalog.pg_function_is_visible(p.oid);
Finds functions in all schemas in your database. Similar to the psql meta-command
\df *pgp_sym_encrypt*
Make sure you install the extension on the desired schema.
sudo -i -u postgres
psql $database
CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto;
OK, problem solved.
I was creating the pgcrypto extension as the first operation in the script. Then I dropped and added the VGDB database. That's why pgcrypto was there immediately after creating it, but didn't exist when running the sql later in the script or when I opened pgadmin.
This script is meant for setting up new databases and if I had tried it on a new database the create extension would have failed right away.
My bad. Thanks for the help, Erwin.
Just mention de schema where is installed pgcrypto like this:
#ColumnTransformer(forColumn = "TEST",
read = "public.pgp_sym_decrypt(TEST, 'password')",
write = "public.pgp_sym_encrypt(?, 'password')")
#Column(name = "TEST", columnDefinition = "bytea", nullable = false)
private String test;
I ran my (python) script again and the CREATE EXTENSION ran without error. The script also executes this command
psql -d VGDB -U postgres -c "select * from pg_available_extensions order by name"
which includes the following in the result set:
pgcrypto | 1.0 | 1.0 | cryptographic functions
So psql believes that it has installed pgcrypto.
Later in the same script when I execute
psql -d VGDB -U postgres -f sql/Create.Credentials.table.sql
where sql/Create.Credentials.table.sql includes this
insert into credentials values('demo', pgp_sym_encrypt('password', 'longpassword'));
I get this
psql:sql/Create.Credentials.table.sql:31: ERROR: function pgp_sym_encrypt(unknown, unknown) does not exist
LINE 1: insert into credentials values('demo', pgp_sym_encrypt('pass...
^
HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.
When I open pgadmin it does not show pgcrypto in either the VGDB or postgres databases even though the query above called by psql shows that pgcrypto is installed.
Could there be an issue with needing to commit after using psql to execute the "create extension ..." command? None of my other DDL or SQL statements require a commit when they get executed with psql.
It's starting to look like psql is just flakey. Is there another way to call "create extension pgcrypto" - e.g. with Python's database support classes - or does that have to be run through psql?
