PostgreSQL - Dumping Data, Stopping Queries and Maintenance

Windows

   cd "\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin"
   pg_dumpall -Upostgres > data.bu
   

Linux

   su - postgres
   pg_dumpall  > data.bu
   zip data.zip data.bu
   exit
   

The above will save the data in the folder /var/lib/pgsql

PostgreSQL - Restoring Data

Since you are restoring the whole database you will need to delete the database completely. So please remember to do a back up before you do so. Also, you must stop tomcat.

Windows

   cd "\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin"
   psql -Upostgres
   drop database da;
   \q
   unzip data.zip
   psql -Upostgres < data.bu
   

Linux

Local

   su - postgres
   psql
   drop database da;
   \q
   psql < data.bu
   exit
   

Remote

 pg_dump -Fc dbname --host=hosturl > filename
 
 pg_restore -d dbname --host=hosturl filename

Important Maintenance Statements

-- Recreate Schema

DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE;
CREATE SCHEMA public;
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA public TO postgres;
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA public TO public;

-- Show Running Queries -- Look for active ones

SELECT pid, age(query_start, clock_timestamp()), usename, state ,query 
FROM pg_stat_activity 

ORDER BY query_start desc;

-- kill running query
SELECT pg_cancel_backend(procpid);

-- kill idle query
SELECT pg_terminate_backend(procpid);

-- vacuum command
VACUUM (VERBOSE, ANALYZE);

-- all database users
select * from pg_stat_activity where current_query not like '<%';

-- all databases and their sizes
select * from pg_user;

-- number of records
SELECT schemaname,relname,n_live_tup 
  FROM pg_stat_user_tables 
  ORDER BY n_live_tup DESC;

-- all tables and their size, with/without indexes
select datname, pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size(datname))
from pg_database
order by pg_database_size(datname) desc;

-- cache hit rates (should not be less than 0.99)
SELECT sum(heap_blks_read) as heap_read, sum(heap_blks_hit)  as heap_hit, (sum(heap_blks_hit) - sum(heap_blks_read)) / sum(heap_blks_hit) as ratio
FROM pg_statio_user_tables;

-- table index usage rates (should not be less than 0.99)
SELECT relname, 100 * idx_scan / (seq_scan + idx_scan) percent_of_times_index_used, n_live_tup rows_in_table
FROM pg_stat_user_tables 
ORDER BY n_live_tup DESC;

-- how many indexes are in cache
SELECT sum(idx_blks_read) as idx_read, sum(idx_blks_hit)  as idx_hit, (sum(idx_blks_hit) - sum(idx_blks_read)) / sum(idx_blks_hit) as ratio
FROM pg_statio_user_indexes;

-- Dump database on remote host to file
$ pg_dump -U username -h hostname databasename > dump.sql

-- Import dump into existing database
$ psql -d newdb -f dump.sql
