pgBucket - A new concurrent job scheduler

Hi All,

I'm so excited to announce about my first contribution tool for postgresql. I have been working with PostgreSQL from 2011 and I'm really impressed with such a nice database.

I started few projects in last 2 years like pgHawk[A beautiful report generator for Openwatch] , pgOwlt [CUI monitoring. It is still under development, incase you are interested to see what it is, attaching the image here for you ],


pgBucket [Which I'm gonna talk about] and learned a lot and lot about PostgreSQL/Linux internals.

Using pgBucket we can schedule jobs easily and we can also maintain them using it's CLI options. We can update/insert/delete jobs at online. And here is its architecture which gives you a basic idea about how it works.


Yeah, I know there are other good job schedulers available for PostgreSQL. I haven't tested them and not comparing them with this, as I implemented it in my way.

Features are:
  • OS/DB jobs
  • Cron style sytax
  • Online job modifications
  • Required cli options

Dependencies:
  • C++11
Here is the link for the source/build instructions, which hopefully helpful for you.

Let me know your inputs/suggestions/comments, which will help me to improve this tool.

Thanks as always.

DBLINK in PostgreSQL

Hi, Find the below DBLINK concepts in PostgreSQL, PostgresPlus as well. PostgreSQL ---------- Foreign Data Wrapper -------------------- This is the one utility which encapsulates the data from the different Database servers using Handler functions. Ex:- In PG 9.1, we can encapsulates the data from My Sql and store to PostgreSQL using handlers. CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER HANDLER VALIDATOR ; Currently(<= 9.0) PostgreSQL compatible with only remote PostgreSQL. From 9.1 onwards, we can make the PostgreSQL to communicate with SQL Server/My SQL through these wrappers. Servers ------- This is the one object which is having the Data wrapper methodology as well the remote host connectivity details. Ex:- CREATE SERVER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER OPTIONS (address , port ,dbname ); User Mapping ------------ This is the one object which maps the current dbserver user/role to remote dbserver user. Ex:-CREATE USER MAPPING FOR SERVER OPTIONS (username , password ); DBLINK

PostgreSQL High Performance Cookbook

Sharing knowledge which I have gained from last 6 years. So glad to be part of PostgreSQL High Performance Cookbook, where I have discussed all the knowledge I have gained from PostgreSQL database. PostgreSQL High Performance Cookbook Working with PostgreSQL from last 6 years, I have gained so much of knowledge about database management systems. Being a DBA for several years, I explored so many tools which work great with PostgreSQL database. During this 6 years journey, I got a chance to meet many wonderful peoples who guided me very well. I would like to say thanks to everyone who taught me PostgreSQL database in soft/hard ways :-). Also, would like to say thanks to every PostgreSQL developer, and authors and bloggers, from where I have learned many more things. Finally thanks to OpenSCG team who always treated me as a brother than an employee. :-) Thanks to my wife manoja  for her wonderful support, and my friend Baji Shaik for his help in writing the content.
