PostgreSQL 13: Don’t let slots kill your primary
/0 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Alvaro's PlanetPostgreSQL, PostgreSQL 13 /by Álvaro HerreraOne of the interesting new features in PostgreSQL for some time now is the ability to control removal of WAL files using replication slots. The dark side is that replication slots can cause disks to fill up with old WAL, killing the main production server. In this article I explain PostgreSQL replication slots, and how a new feature in PostgreSQL 13 helps prevent this problem.

Unicode normalization in PostgreSQL 13
/3 Comments/in Eisentraut's PlanetPostgreSQL, PostgreSQL /by Peter EisentrautUnicode equivalence Unicode is a complicated beast. One of its numerous peculiar features is that different sequences of codepoints can be equal. This is not the case in legacy encodings. In LATIN1, for instance, the only thing that is equal to ‘a’ is ‘a’ and the only thing that is equal to ‘ä’ is ‘ä’. […]

Partitioning a large table without a long-running lock
/0 Comments/in Andrew's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Andrew DunstanLet’s say you have an application that has a huge table and that needs to be available all the time. It’s got so big that managing it without partitioning it is getting increasingly difficult. But you can’t take the table offline to create a new partitioned version of the table, which would take a great […]
How to Monitor PostgreSQL 12 Performance with OmniDB – Part 2
/0 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, PostgreSQL, Sadeq's PlanetPostgreSQL, Technology /by Sadequl HussainIn a previous article of this series, we created a two-node PostgreSQL 12 cluster in the AWS cloud. We also installed and configured 2ndQuadrant OmniDB in a third node. The image below shows the architecture: We could connect to both the primary and the standby node from OmniDB’s web-based user interface. We then restored a […]
