OS Results From PostgreSQL


Hi ,

As of now, we are using "\i" or using "PL/SH" script for getting the OS command results from PostgreSQL. However, below is the one more option where we can get the required info.

Step 1
======
#include "postgres.h"
#include "fmgr.h"
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#ifdef PG_MODULE_MAGIC
PG_MODULE_MAGIC;
#endif

PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(shell_exec);
Datum
shell_exec(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
    text  *arg1 = PG_GETARG_TEXT_P(0);
    char  *Command=VARDATA(arg1);
    int32 result=system(Command);   
    PG_RETURN_TEXT_P(result);
}

Step 2
=======
-bash-3.2$ more Makefile
PG_CONFIG = /opt/PostgresPlus/9.0AS/bin/pg_config
MODULES = shell_exec
PGXS := $(shell $(PG_CONFIG) --pgxs)
include $(PGXS)

Step 3
======
make and .so file to $PGHOME/lib  or $PGHOME/lib/postgres/

Step 4
======
postgres=# CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION shell_exec(text) RETURNS int                           AS 'shell_exec.so', 'shell_exec'  
LANGUAGE C STRICT;
CREATE FUNCTION

Step 5
======
postgres=# select shell_exec('vmstat 1 >/opt/PostgreSQL/9.0/data/output');
^CCancel request sent
postgres=# select pg_read_file('/opt/PostgreSQL/9.0/data/output',1,1000000);
                                       pg_read_file

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

How To Send E-Mail From PostgreSQL

Hi , If you want to send E-Mails from PostgreSQL, then use the below Python 3.2 Script as below. I have used ActivePython 3.2 with PostgreSQL 9.1 for sending E-Mails from PostgreSQL. If you want to configure the Python 3.2 with PostgreSQL 9.1 then, please refer the below steps. http://manojadinesh.blogspot.in/2012/06/fatal-python-error-pyinitialize-unable.html Once, your Python 3.2 successful then follow the below steps to send an e-mail. Step 1 ===== postgres=# CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.send_email(_from Text,_password Text,smtp Text,port INT,receiver text, subject text, send_message text) RETURNS TEXT  LANGUAGE plpython3u AS $function$ import smtplib sender = _from receivers = receiver message = ("From: %s\nTo: %s\nSubject: %s\n\n %s"  % (_from,receiver,subject,send_message)) try:   smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP(smtp,port)   smtpObj.starttls()   smtpObj.login(_from, _password)   smtpObj.sendmail(sender, receivers,message)   print ('Successf

::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 ---------- ----
