Getting error while creating node in postgres-xc cluster database - postgresql

I have tried to create postgres-xc cluster database.So i followed their documentation do that (http://postgres-xc.sourceforge.net/docs/1_1/install-short.html)
After following that documentation procedure I'm not able to create node. I'm getting the following error:
ERROR: syntax error at or near "NODE"
when running following command
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql -c "CREATE NODE datanode1 WITH (TYPE = 'datanode', PORT = 15432)" postgres
Can anyone help me to do solve this.

I suspect a_horse_with_no_name is right. postgres-xc and postgresql are different codebases and you can't run CREATE NODE on PostgreSQL and have it work. You must be running Postgres-XC.
To find out, run SELECT version() from psql.
To install Postgres-XC the first step is to actually install the Postgres-XC software either from packages or from source (by compiling).

Connect Tarantool Docker image to Postgres

I'm trying to connect Tarantool Docker Image to local PostgreSQL, to replicate some test data, and ran into the following problems:
It seems there is no CL (except Tarantool console) to check which
files are in place (exec bin/bash fails)
pg = require('pg') leads to
an error: "init.lua:4: module 'pg.driver' not found", despite the
presence of the pg module in the Docker description
I have doubts about how to replicate efficiently 4 tables, and
relations between them, to the container from outside Postgres
Does anyone know sources to dig in and find solutions to those problems? Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
docker exec -ti tnt_container sh
the issue. You should find an older base image or build it yourself.
This is PostgreSQL-related doubts. You may pass batches of data to pg functions or use intermediate application to transfer data via COPY. It looks like tarantool's pg driver does not support COPY.

How to fix "ERROR: column c.relhasoids does not exist" in Postgres?

I’m trying to CREATE TABLE command in Postgresql.
After creating a table, if I punch in TABLE table name, it works.
But I punch in \d table name, I keep getting an error below.
ERROR: column c.relhasoids does not exist
LINE 1: ...riggers, c.relrowsecurity, c.relforcerowsecurity, c.relhasoi...
I attempted DROP DATABASE table name recreated a database and recreated a table again several times. But it didn't work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you.
I am able to reproduce your error if I am using Postgres v.12 and an older client (v.11 or earlier):
[root#def /]# psql -h 172.17.0.3
psql (11.5, server 12.0)
WARNING: psql major version 11, server major version 12.
Some psql features might not work.
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# create table mytable (id int, name text);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# table mytable;
id | name
----+------
(0 rows)
postgres=# \d mytable;
ERROR: column c.relhasoids does not exist
LINE 1: ...riggers, c.relrowsecurity, c.relforcerowsecurity, c.relhasoi...
^
postgres=#
This is because in v. 12, table OIDs are no longer treated as special columns, and hence the relhasoids column is no longer necessary. Please make sure you're using a v. 12 psql binary so you don't encounter this error.
You may not necessarily be using psql, so the more general answer here is to make sure you’re using a compatible client.
For anyone running Postgres as a Docker container:
Instead of running psql from the host, run it from inside the container e.g.
docker exec -it postgres_container_name psql your_connection_string
The Postgres image always ships with the corresponding—and thus always updated—version of psql so you don't have to worry about having the correct version installed on the host machine.
If you're using DataGrip, there's an easy fix:
Try using "Introspect using JDBC metadata". This fixed it for me when (I think) I had a version mismatch between postgresql server and DataGrip client.
Under your connection settings -> Options tab -> check Introspect using JDBC metadata
According to https://www.jetbrains.com/help/datagrip/data-sources-and-drivers-dialog.html#optionsTab :
Switch to the JDBC-based introspector.
To retrieve information about database objects (DB metadata), DataGrip
uses the following introspectors:
A native introspector (might be unavailable for certain DBMS). The
native introspector uses DBMS-specific tables and views as a source of
metadata. It can retrieve DBMS-specific details and produce a more
precise picture of database objects.
A JDBC-based introspector (available for all the DBMS). The JDBC-based
introspector uses the metadata provided by the JDBC driver. It can
retrieve only standard information about database objects and their
properties.
Consider using the JDBC-based intorspector when the native
introspector fails or is not available.
The native introspector can fail, when your database server version is
older than the minimum version supported by DataGrip.
You can try to switch to the JDBC-based introspector to fix problems
with retrieving the database structure information from your database.
For example, when the schemas that exist in your database or database
objects below the schema level are not shown in the Database tool
window.
The issue is the client (psql) is a different version from the postgres server. I have seen this issue with psql version 11 talking to postgres version 12. To solve this issue upgrade the psql version to 12.
If you are running a docker postgres, you can exec into the container then use the psql client installed there.
# get the container id with this
docker ps
# Then exec into the container, please note the host will now be 120.0.0.1
docker exec -it c12e8c6b8eb5 /bin/bash
I had this issue because my psql was 9.2 and the server version was 12.7.
So ... clearly the psql client needs to be updated. But how?
Before you go downloading/installing anything though you may already have the right version. In my case I did.
I executed which psql which showed my version was coming from /usr/bin/psql.
I then checked /usr/pgsql-12/bin and found there was a psql in there.
So all I needed to do was ensure psql was picked up from there.
There are a number of places that could be controlling this; in my case I just added this line to my .pgsql_profile (in the postgres user's home directory):
export PATH="/usr/pgsql-12/bin:$PATH"
Logging out and back in as postgres and executing which psql showed the change had been successful:
which psql
/usr/pgsql-12/bin/psql
This answer is specific to pgcli
If you are using pgcli you may be encountering this issue. It's solved by updating the python package pgspecial.
If you installed pgcli using pip, you can simply do, depending on your python version:
pip install -U pgspecial
or
pip3 install -U pgspecial
If you are using Ubuntu and intalled pgcli using apt, you can either switch it to pip with:
sudo apt remove --purge pgcli
pip3 install pgcli
or update the distribution package python-pgspecial or python3-pgspecial from the Ubuntu packages web site. In that case you may need to update its dependencies as well.
I had this issue today, was unable to continue work due to this, strangely the application code is working fine.
Later, found this issue is only occurring if I use OmniDb client I use to connect to DB.
I have switched client to default pgAdmin 4 that comes with postgres installation & issue is not occurring anymore pgAdmin 4. Link: https://www.pgadmin.org/download/pgadmin-4-windows/
Its possible that OmniDb client might be older, but no time to troubleshoot it, using pgAdmin 4 for now.
Hope that helps.
Just update DataGrip solved this issue, Datagrip updated to version DataGrip 2019.3.3, Build #DB-193.6494.42, built on February 12, 2020, Now working :)
Just for DataGrip users!
I had the same issue today too. In my case, the problem was solved when I deleted the version 12 and installed the version 11. Seems that v12 has some features that must be create along the others columns.
I had the same problem.
But I found the solution by downloading the latest build on 14/10/2019
Follow the link:
https://postbird.paxa.kuber.host/2019_10_14.06_42-master-7a9e949
I hope it helps
To fix this, edit Postgres.php file and comment the lines from hasObjectID function as shown below.
function hasObjectID($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'];
}
*/
}
I had the same issue when using PgAdmin to query the database.
Once I installed the newest version of PgAdmin the error disappeared!
You might also try restarting pgadmin.
After upgrading from postgres96 to postgres12 I had the same issue. My pgadmin was running psql v12.0 so that wasn't the issue. I restarted pgadmin for a separate issue and the relhasoids issue went away.
If anyone could explain to me why this worked that would be appreciated.
Just use version 11.

Postgresql Monitoring using Grafana

I am very new in Grafana. We have setup grafana and now we want to monitor our postgresql DB using it.
We have created the postgresql datasource and provide all the required detail of our psql DB machine and connection showing ok in Grafana. Now we have imported the Grafana dashboard with id 9948 Dashboard is imported but didn't showing any stats over it.
We are getting the below error:
Error pq: relation "collectd" does not exist
Error Templating init failed
pq: relation "identifiers" does not exist
We have installed the collectd also using apt install collectd on DB machine but didn't find any configurable option in collectd.conf file.
Can you please help me.
Thanks.
You need to install the timescaleDB and create the PG extension.
\c database
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS timescaledb CASCADE;
Once done, follow the instructions from following git project.
https://github.com/petercelentanojr/timescaledb_collectd_resources/blob/master/collectd_timescaledb_schema/collectd_timescaledb_bootstrap.sql

Heroku pg:pull is giving sh: createdb: command not found

When I try to do heroku pg:pull DATABASE_URL myappspassword, I get this error:
my-computer:a-folder (master*) · heroku pg:pull DATABASE_URL myappspassword
! sh: createdb: command not found
!
! Unable to create new local database. Ensure your local Postgres is working and try again.
For once Googling doesn't return a result. I'm wondering if it's related to the fact that when I do which psql, there is no result. Maybe I need to do something special with pgAdmin to get this working (e.g. export command line tools)?
Are you on a Mac, by chance, and using Postgres App?
If so, the problem might be that createdb isn't on your path. Try adding it by inserting the following into ~/.bash_profile.
export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin
Then run source ~/.bash_profile and try again.
There's more info on the Postgres App site: http://postgresapp.com/documentation/cli-tools.html
Your instincts are correct. You need to be able to access the Postgres from your command line. pg:pull is attempting to create a new local database and drop the relevant data from your Heroku database into it. From the docs:
This command will create a new local database named “mylocaldb” and then pull data from database at DATABASE_URL...
Basically, your local machine is trying to run createdb locally but your terminal isn't recognizing it.
I battled this damn error for a few hours. I can't say for certain if this will work for everyone but I found my issue stemmed from running the command via iTerm/ZSH instead of just normal bash. I opened up plain-old vanilla terminal, ran the command, and everything fired off like it should.

PostgreSQL issue: could not access file "$libdir/plpgsql": No such file or directory

I get this exception in PostgreSQL:

I searched a lot and most solution points to a wrong installation. But this is my test db which has been running without issues for a long time. Also inserts are working. Issue occurs only on select queries.
Apparently, you moved your PostgreSQL lib directory out of place. To confirm this, try the following in psql:
> SET client_encoding TO iso88591;
ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/utf8_and_iso8859_1": No such file or directory
If you get an error message like this, then my theory is correct. You'll need to find out where those files ended up, or you can reinstall PostgreSQL to restore them.
To find out what $libdir is referring to, run the following command:
pg_config --pkglibdir
For me, this produces:
/usr/lib/postgresql
I have the same problem: the other postgres server instance (8.4) was interfering with the 9.1 one; when the 8.4 instance is removed it works.
the other instance can sometimes be removed from the system while still running (e.g. you do a gentoo update and a depclean without stopping and migrating your data). so the error seems particularly mysterious.
the solution is usually going to be doing a slot install/eselect of the old version (in gentoo terms, or simply downgrading on other distros), running its pg_dumpall, and then uninstalling/reinstalling the new version and importing the data.
this worked pretty painlessly for me
