FOREIGN TABLES


FOREIGN TABLES/DATA WRAPPERS
===============================

Foreign data wrapper is a library which understand the heterogeneous database information. For example, PostgreSQL does not understand the MYSQL data structure/information since both engines have different mechanism. If we want to get any heterogeneous database information then we need to configure the respective fdw(Foreign Data Wrapper) into the PostgreSQL Library location.

Please find the below link, which gives you all the available Foreign Data Wrappers.
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Foreign_data_wrappers

Here we have chosen MYSQL table as a source to PostgreSQL. Below are the steps.

1) Install mysql and mysql-devel using yum .

yum install mysql*
2) Install PostgreSQL 9.1 through EnterpriseDB graphical installer. 3) Get the MYSQL FDW from the below link.
https://github.com/dpage/mysql_fdw/archive/master.tar.gz
4) set the "PATH" as shown below.
export PATH=<PostgreSQL 9.1 Bin>:<Mysql Bin>:$PATH;
Ex:-
[root@localhost mysql_fdw-master]# echo $PATH 
/opt/PostgreSQL/9.1/bin/:/usr/bin/mysql:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
5) Make & Make Install
[root@localhost mysql_fdw-master]# make USE_PGXS=1
[root@localhost mysql_fdw-master]# make USE_PGXS=1 install
6) Create an Extension & Server as below.
postgres=# create EXTENSION mysql_fdw ;
CREATE EXTENSION

postgres=# CREATE SERVER mysql_svr FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER mysql_fdw OPTIONS (address '127.0.0.1', port '3306'); --MySql Port Default 3306
7) Create USER Mapping from PUBLIC users to "MySql Root".
CREATE USER MAPPING FOR PUBLIC
SERVER mysql_svr
OPTIONS (username 'root', password 'root');
CREATE USER MAPPING
8) Create Foreign Table as below.
postgres=# CREATE FOREIGN TABLE TEST(T INT) SERVER mysql_svr OPTIONS(TABLE 'DINESH.XYZ'); --Dinesh is a database & XYZ is a table.
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE
9) From MYSQL
mysql> \u DINESH
Database changed
mysql> SELECT * FROM XYZ;
+------+
| T    |
+------+
|    1 |
|    2 |
|    3 |
+------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
10) From PostgreSQL
postgres=# select * from test;
 t 
---
 1
 2
 3
(3 rows)

postgres=# explain analyze select * from test;
                                             QUERY PLAN                                             
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Foreign Scan on test  (cost=10.00..13.00 rows=3 width=4) (actual time=0.211..0.212 rows=3 loops=1)
   Local server startup cost: 10    MySQL query: SELECT * FROM DINESH.XYZ  Total runtime: 0.675 ms (4 rows)

  1. So how do you enumerate a list of these foreign tables via TSQL?

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