::ksdwrt in Oracle and workarround in PostgreSQL::

dbms_system.ksdwrt
================
In Oracle we do have ksdwrt for writing the customized alters into alert_log file as well trace files.
These customized log information is very usefull to DBA while monitoringthe servers.

Step 1:-
======
exec dbms_system.ksdwrt(2,CURRENT_DATE||'::NOTIFY:: '||' ****** Disk Space IS Very Less ... 90% Full
******');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Step 2:-
=======
SQL> select name,value from v$parameter where name='background_dump_dest';

NAME
--------------------------------------------------
VALUE
--------------------------------------------------
background_dump_dest
D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ADMIN\DINESH\BDUMP


Step 3:-
=======
From alertdinesh_log

Fri Nov 11 02:33:07 2011
11-NOV-11::NOTIFY:: ****** Disk Space IS Very Less ... 90% Full ******



In PostgreSQL, we don't have that feature. So,please find the below work arround for this in PostgreSQL.
=======================================================================

Step 1:-
=====
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION PG_LOG_WRITE(MESSAGE TEXT) RETURNS BIGINT
AS
$$
select pg_file_write('pg_log/'||filename,$1,true)
from
(
SELECT
pg_ls_dir AS filename,
pg_size_pretty((pg_stat_file('pg_log/' || pg_ls_dir)).size),
(pg_stat_file('pg_log/' || pg_ls_dir)).modification
FROM
pg_ls_dir('pg_log')
WHERE
(pg_stat_file('pg_log/' || pg_ls_dir)).isdir = false
ORDER BY
modification DESC LIMIT 1
) as sub;
$$
LANGUAGE SQL;

Step 2:-
=====
postgres=# SELECT pg_log_write((SELECT NOW())||' ::NOTIFY:: '||E' ****** Disk Space IS Very Less ... 90% Full ****** \n');

Step 3:-
======
$ tail -100f postgresql-2011-10-20_043319.log

2011-10-20 05:25:04.214368+05:30 ::NOTIFY:: ****** Disk Space IS Very Less ... 90% Full ******

Parallel Operations With pl/pgSQL

Hi, I am pretty sure that, there will be a right heading for this post. For now, i am going with this. If you could suggest me proper heading, i will update it :-) OK. let me explain the situation. Then will let you know what i am trying to do here, and how i did it. Situation here is, We have a table, which we need to run update on “R” no.of records. The update query is using some joins to get the desired result, and do update the table.  To process these “R” no.of records, it is taking “H” no.of hours. That too, it’s giving load on the production server. So, we planned to run this UPDATE as batch process.  Per a batch process, we took “N” no.or records. To process this batch UPDATE, it is taking “S” no.of seconds. With the above batch process, production server is pretty stable, and doing great. So, we planned to run these Batch updates parallel.  I mean, “K” sessions, running different record UPDATEs. Of-course, we can also increase the Batch size here.  But

::Pipelined in Oracle as well in PostgreSQL::

Pipelined Table Functions:- [ORACLE] =========================== If you want to return multiple rows to the calling environment, then piplined table functions is prefred. It will increase the dbperformance as well. Ex:- Step 1: ----------- CREATE TABLE EMP(EMPNO INT,ENAME VARCHAR2(10),SAL INT); Step 2: ----------- Insert sample data. Step 3: ----------- Create an object for the row type casting. CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE emp_row AS OBJECT ( empno INT, ename VARCHAR2(20), SAL INT ); Step 4: ----------- Create a Return Type for the pipelined function. CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE emp_table_type AS TABLE OF emp_row; Step 5: ----------- CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION emp_pipe_function RETURN emp_table_type PIPELINED IS BEGIN FOR rec in (select * from emp) LOOP PIPE ROW (emp_row(rec.empno,rec.ename,rec.sal)); END LOOP; RETURN; END; Step 6: ---------- SQL> select * from table(emp_pipe_function); EMPNO ENAME SAL ---------- ----
