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
------
Dblink is one of the contrib module, which collects the data from the remote or different database through TCP/IP.

Test Case
---------
Remote
------
HOST :: 127.0.0.1
PORT :: 5434
Dbname :: postgres
Username :: postgres
Table :: dblinktest

Local
-----
HOST :: 127.0.0.1
PORT :: 5433
Username :: dinesh

Here, we are fetching the 5434 cluster's dblinktest table data as a "dinesh" user.

Step 1:
-------
postgres=# CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER DBLINK_FDW;
CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER

--It takes the postgresql by default handler and default validator.

Step 2:
-------
postgres=# CREATE SERVER DBLINK_FDW_SERVER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER DBLINK_FDW OPTIONS(hostaddr '127.0.0.1',dbname 'postgres',port '5434');
CREATE SERVER

Step 3:
-------
postgres=# CREATE USER MAPPING FOR DINESH SERVER DBLINK_FDW_SERVER OPTIONS(USER 'postgres',password 'postgres');
CREATE USER MAPPING

Step 4:
-------
postgres=# GRANT USAGE ON FOREIGN SERVER DBLINK_FDW_SERVER to DINESH;
GRANT
--Giving the required permissions to the user Dinesh.

Step 5:
-------
postgres=# \c postgres dinesh
You are now connected to database "postgres".
postgres=> SELECT DBLINK_CONNECT('DBLINK_CONN','dblink_fdw_server');
dblink_connect
----------------
OK
(1 row)

Step 6:
-------
postgres=> SELECT * FROM DBLINK('DBLINK_CONN','SELECT * FROM TEST LIMIT 3') AS T(A INT);

PostgresPlus
--------------
As we all know, Postgresplus is oracle compatable. So, We can directly execute the followind dblink in Postgreplus Advanced server.

Syntax:-

CREATE DATABASE LINK
CONNECT TO IDENTIFIED BY ''
USING libpq 'host= dbname= port=';

Ex:-
Step 1:
-------
edb=# CREATE DATABASE LINK DBLINK_PPAS CONNECT TO enterprisedb IDENTIFIED BY 'adminedb' using libpq 'host=127.0.0.1 dbname=edb port=5555';
CREATE DATABASE LINK
edb=# show port;
port
------
5444
(1 row)

Step 2:
-------
edb=# SELECT * FROM TEST@DBLINK_PPAS LIMIT 3;

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 ---------- ----
