In my project i want to collect PostgreSQL server's performance counter. For that i want query to collect it from the database. i am new to postgreSQL. when i am searching, i got something like,
SELECT * FROM pg_stat_database
but when i am use this in java in the following manner, Here Map_PostgreSQL is a hashmap.
while(rs.next())
{
Counter_Name.add(rs.getString(1).trim());
Map_PostgreSQL.put(rs.getString(1).trim(), rs.getString(2));
}
I got output like
{12024=template0, 1=template1, 12029=postgres}
What is the actual query to collect its status variables like "SHOW GLOBAL STATUS" in MySQL.
Thanks in advance..
1st, try to launch the sql query in your PostgreSQL Shell to see exactly which data are returned and how it is organised in rows and columns.
You'll see that the hashmap keys are your datid (database ids) and the values are your databases names.
I think you assumed that statistics were structured in "rows" whereas they are structured in columns.
Don't forget : PostgreSQL is a database server which means it can handle several databases (and in fact, it has several databases because some of them are already created such as the 'postgres' database itself - which Postgres (the server) uses internally, or 'template0').
By launching :
SELECT * FROM pg_stat_database;
You're asking the server to return statistics for every databases (provided you're allowed to get them)
If you want to only have stats for your own database, do :
SELECT * FROM pg_stat_database WHERE datname='your_database_name';
Hope this helped

I would like to know what gets executed first in the SAS SQL pass thru in this code:
Connect To OLEDB As MYDB ( %DBConnect( Catalog = MYDB ) ) ;
Create table MYDB_extract as
select put(Parent,$ABC.) as PARENT,
put(PFX,z2.) as PFX,*
From Connection To MYDB
( SELECT
Appointment,Parents,Children,Cats,Dogs
FROM MYDB.dbo.FlatRecord
WHERE Appointment between '20150801' and '20150831'
And Children > 2);
Disconnect from MYDB;
Since MS SQL-Server doesn't support the PUT function will this query cause ALL of the records to be processed locally or only the resultant records from the DBMS?
The explicit pass-through query will still process and will return to SAS what it returns (however many records that is). Then, SAS will perform the put operations on the returned rows.
So if 10000 rows are in the table, and 500 rows meet the criteria in where, 500 records will go to SAS and then be put; SQL will handle the 10000 -> 500.
If you had written this in implicit pass through, then it's possible (if not probable) that SAS might have done all of the work.
First the code in the inline view will be executed on the server:
SELECT Appointment,Parents,Children,Cats,Dogs
FROM MYDB.dbo.FlatRecord
WHERE Appointment between '20150801' and '20150831' And Children > 2
Rows that meet that WHERE clause will be returned by the DBMS to SAS over the OLDEB connection.
Then SAS will (try and) select from that result set, applying any other code, including the put functions.
This isn't really any different from how an inline view works in any other DBMS, except that here you have two different database engines, one running the inner query and SAS running the outer query.
The following query works efficiently when run directly against Oracle 11 using TOAD (with native Oracle drivers)
select ... from ... where ...
and srvg_ocd in (
select ocd
from rptofc
where eff_endt = to_date('12/31/9999','mm/dd/yyyy')
and rgn_nm = 'Boston'
) ...
;
The exact same query "never" returns if passed from SQL Server 2008 to the same Oracle database via openquery(). SQL Server has a link to the Oracle database using an Oracle Provider OLE DB driver.
select * from openquery( servername, '
select ... from ... where ...
and srvg_ocd in (
select ocd
from rptofc
where eff_endt = to_date(''12/31/9999'',''mm/dd/yyyy'')
and rgn_nm = ''Boston''
) ...
');
The query doesn't return in a reasonable amount of time, and the user kills the query. I don't know if it would eventually return with the correct result.
This result where the direct TOAD query works efficiently and the openquery() version "never" returns is reproducible.
A small modification to the openquery() gives the correct efficient result: Change eff_endt to trunc(eff_endt).
That is well and good, but it doesn't seem like the change should be necessary.
openquery() is supposed to be pass through, so how can there be a difference between the TOAD and openquery() behavior?
The reason we care is because we frequently develop complex queries with TOAD directly accessing Oracle. Once we have the query functioning and optimized, we convert it to an openquery() string for use in a SQL Server application. It is extremely aggravating to have a query suddenly fail with openquery() when we know it worked as a direct query. Then we have to search for a work-around through trial and error.
I would like to see the Oracle trace files for the two scenarios, but the Oracle server is within another organization, and we are not getting cooperation from the Oracle DBAs.
Does anyone know of any driver, or TOAD, or ??? issues that could account for the discrepancy? Is there any way to eliminate the problem such that both methods always give the same result?
I know you asked this a while ago but I just came across your question.
I agree, they should be the same. Obviously there is a difference. We need to find out where the difference is.
I am thinking out loud as I type...
What happens if you specify just a few column instead of select * from openquery?
How many rows are supposed to be returned?
What if, in the oracle select, you limit the returned rows?
How quickly does the openquery timeout?
Are TOAD and SS on the same machine? Are you RDPing into the SS and running toad from there?
Are they using the same drivers? including bit? (32/64) version?
Are they using the same account on oracle?
It is interesting that using the trunc() makes a difference. I assume [eff_endt] is one of the returned fields?
I am wondering if SS is getting all the rows back but it is choking on doing the date conversions. The date type in oracle may need to be converted to a ss date type before ss shows it to you.
What if you insert the rows from the openquery into a table where the date field is just a (n)varchar. I am thinking ss might just dump the date it is getting back from oracle into that text field without trying to convert it.
something like:
insert into mytable(f1,f2,f3,datetimeX)
select f1,f2,f3,datetimeX from openquery( servername, '
select f1,f2,f3,datetimeX from ... where ...
and srvg_ocd in (
select ocd
from rptofc
where eff_endt = to_date(''12/31/9999'',''mm/dd/yyyy'')
and rgn_nm = ''Boston''
) ...
');
What if toad or ss is modifying the query statement before sending it to oracle. You could fire up wireshark and see what toad and ss are actually sending.
I would be very curious if you get this resolved. I link ss to oracle often and have not run into this issue.
Here are basic things you can check for to see what the database is doing after it receives the query. First, check that the execution plans are the same in TOAD as when the query runs using openquery. You could plan the query yourself in TOAD using:
explain plan set statement_id = 'openquery_test' for <your query here>;
select *
from table(dbms_xplan.display(statement_id => 'openquery_test';
then have someone initiate the query using openquery() and have someone with permissions to view v$ tables to run:
select sql_id from v$session where username = '<user running the query>';
(If there's more than one connection with the same user, you'll have to find an additional attribute to isolate the row representing the session running the query.)
select *
from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor('<value from query above'));
If those look the same then I'd move on to checking database waits and see what it's stuck on.
select se.username
, sw.event
, sw.p1text
, sw.p2text
, sw.p3text
, sw.wait_time_micro/1000000 as seconds_in_wait
, sw.state
, sw.time_since_last_wait_micro/1000000 as seconds_since_last_wait
from v$session se
inner join
v$session_wait sw
on se.sid = sw.sid
where se.username = '<user running the query>'
;
(again, if there's more than one session with the same username, you'll need another attribute to whittle it down to the one you're interested in.)
If the plans are different, then you need to find out why, or if they're the same, look into what it's waiting on (e.g. SQL*Net message to client ?) and why.
I noticed a difference using OLEDB through MS Access (2013) connecting to Oracle 10g & 11g tables, in that it did not always recognize indexes or primary keys on the Oracle tables properly. The same query through an MS Access 2000 database (using odbc) worked fine / had no problem with indexes & keys. The only way I found to fix the OLEDB version was to include all of the key fields in the SELECT -- which was not a satisfying answer, but it's all I could find. This might be an option to try through SSMS / OpenQuery(...) as well.
Besides that... you can try some alternatives to OPENQUERY, such as:
4-part names: SELECT ... FROM Server..Schema.Table
Execute AT: EXEC ('select...') at linked server
But as for why the OLEDB provider works differently than the native Oracle Provider -- the providers are not identical, and the native provider would be more likely to pave-over Oracle quirks than the more generic OLEDB provider would.
In Postgres SQL Server 8.4 how to get number of request time to each tables?
For example , what I want is like that
Table_Name request_time
person 50
department 20
Plz give me some guideLine.
You want to use pg_stat_statements and/or csv format logging with log_statement = all or log_min_duration_statement = 0.
There is no way to get statement statistics in a queryable form retroactively. pgFouine can help analyse logs, but only if you've configured PostgreSQL to produce detailed logs.
You probably also want to read about the statistics collector and associated views, which will help provide things like table- and index-utilisation data.
I'm trying to connect from Microsoft SQL server to as AS/400 so i can pull data from the AS/400 then flag the data as being pulled.
I've successfully created and OLE DB "IBMDASQL" connection, and am able to pull data some data, but i'm running into an issue when i try to pull data from a very large table
This runs fine, and returns a count of 170 million:
select count(*)
from transactions
This query executed for 15 hours before i gave up on it. (It should return zero since i haven't flagged anything as 'in process' yet)
select count(*)
from transactions
where processed = 'In process'
I'm a Microsoft guy, but my AS/400 guy says that there is an index on the 'processed' column and that locally, that query run instantaneously.
Any thoughts on what i might be doing wrong? I found a table with only 68 records in it, and was able to run this query in about a second:
select count(*)
from smallTable
where RandomColumn = 'randomValue'
So I know that the AS/400 is at least able to understand that type of query.
I have had to fight this battle many times.
There are two ways of approaching this.
1) Stage your data from the AS400 into SQL server where you can optimize your indexes
2) Ask the AS400 folks to create logical views which speed up data retrieval, your AS400 programmer is correct, index will help but I forget the term they use to define a "view" similar to a sql server view, I beleive its something like "physical" v/s "logical". Logical is what you want.
Thirdly, 170 million is a lot of records, even for a relational database like SQL server, have you considered running an SSIS package nightly that stages your data into your own SQL table to see if it improves performance?
I would suggest this way to have good performance, i suppose you have at least SQL2005, i havent tested yet but this is a tip
Let the AS400 perform the select in native way by creating stored procedure in the AS400
open a AS400 session
launch STRSQL
create an AS400 stored procedure in this way to get/update the recordset
CREATE PROCEDURE MYSELECT (IN PARAM CHAR(10))
LANGUAGE SQL
DYNAMIC RESULT SETS 1
BEGIN
DECLARE C1 CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM MYLIB.MYFILE WHERE MYFIELD=PARAM;
OPEN C1;
RETURN;
END
create an AS400 stored procedure to update the recordset
CREATE PROCEDURE MYUPDATE (IN PARAM CHAR(10))
LANGUAGE SQL
RESULT SETS 0
BEGIN
UPDATE MYLIB.MYFILE SET MYFIELD='newvalue' WHERE MYFIELD=PARAM;
END
Call those AS400 SP from SQL SERVER
declare #myParam char(10)
set #myParam = 'In process'
-- get the recordset
EXEC ('CALL NAME_AS400.MYLIB.MYSELECT(?) ', #myParam) AT AS400 -- < AS400 = name of linked server
-- update
EXEC ('CALL NAME_AS400.MYLIB.MYUPDATE(?) ', #myParam) AT AS400
Hope it helps
I recommend following the suggestions in the IBM Redbook SQL Performance Diagnosis on IBM DB2 Universal Database for iSeries to determine what's really happening.
IBM technical support can also be extremely helpful in diagnosing issues such as these. Don't be afraid to get in touch with them as the software support is generally included as part of the maintenance contract and there is no charge to talk to them.
I've seen OLEDB connections eat up 100% cpu for hours and when the same query is run through VisualExplain (query analyzer) it estimates mere seconds to execute.
We found that running the query like this performed liked expected:
SELECT *
FROM OpenQuery( LinkedServer,
'select count(*)
from transactions
where processed = ''In process''')
GO
Could this be a collation problem? - your WHERE clause is testing on a text field and if the collations of the two servers don't match this clause will be applied clientside rather than serverside so you are first of all pulling all 170 million records down to the client and then performing the WHERE clause on it there.
Based on the past interactions I have had, the query should take about the same amount of time no matter how you access the data. Another thought would be if you could create a view on the table to get the data you need or use a stored procedure.
After much fiddling, I've managed to install the right ODBC driver and have successfully created a linked server on SQL Server 2008, by which I can access my PostgreSQL db from SQL server.
I'm copying all of the data from some of the tables in the PgSQL DB into SQL Server using merge statements that take the following form:
with mbRemote as
(
select
*
from
openquery(someLinkedDb,'select * from someTable')
)
merge into someTable mbLocal
using mbRemote on mbLocal.id=mbRemote.id
when matched
/*edit*/
/*clause below really speeds things up when many rows are unchanged*/
/*can you think of anything else?*/
and not (mbLocal.field1=mbRemote.field1
and mbLocal.field2=mbRemote.field2
and mbLocal.field3=mbRemote.field3
and mbLocal.field4=mbRemote.field4)
/*end edit*/
then
update
set
mbLocal.field1=mbRemote.field1,
mbLocal.field2=mbRemote.field2,
mbLocal.field3=mbRemote.field3,
mbLocal.field4=mbRemote.field4
when not matched then
insert
(
id,
field1,
field2,
field3,
field4
)
values
(
mbRemote.id,
mbRemote.field1,
mbRemote.field2,
mbRemote.field3,
mbRemote.field4
)
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE then delete;
After this statement completes, the local (SQL Server) copy is fully in sync with the remote (PgSQL server).
A few questions about this approach:
is it sane?
it strikes me that an update will be run over all fields in local rows that haven't necessarily changed. The only prerequisite is that the local and remote id field match. Is there a more fine grained approach/a way of constraining the merge statment to only update rows that have actually changed?
That looks like a reasonable method if you're not able or wanting to use a tool like SSIS.
You could add in a check on the when matched line to check if changes have occurred, something like:
when matched and mbLocal.field1 <> mbRemote.field1 then
This many be unwieldy if you have more than a couple of columns to check, so you could add a check column in (like LastUpdatedDate for example) to make this easier.
