Schedule DB Query

От

Hi, i hope someone can help me in this mailing list. Is there a way to schedule databases querys with postgresql?? Ideally i would like to have a database table with one field containing database queries and then create a "postgres cron"  for executing all my queries at a specified time.

I know one possible solution would be to create a cron in unix but i think it would be better if i can create it within the database so, if i change my system, i can keep this information just doing a "pgdump" and restoring  in another system.

Maybe i am dreaming, jeje, but i want to hear the expert voices

Thank you in advance

Sergio

I would go for a cron job that calls a script that launches a number
of SQL commands through psql -c or pgsql -f.

You can also use pgagent to ease the creation of batch jobs (SQL or shell
script). See http://www.pgadmin.org/docs/dev/pgagent.html for more
information.

Strange behaviour with a query

In a production enviroment over Postgresql 8.2.13, we have found some queries take forever without finish until statement_timeout enters in play.
These queries are like this one:

SELECT ART.ART_ID, DIS.DIS_HORAS, ART.TIP_ID FROM ARTICULO ART,DISPONIBILIDAD DIS, ENTE ENT, PARTICIPACION PAR,CANCION C WHERE (ART.ART_APROBADO = 1)

If I slightly change it by removing one of the conditions for CANCION table, it works an finish in miliseconds:

AND C.ART_ID = ART.ART_ID AND DIS.DIS_ID = ART.DIS_ID  AND ART.PRE_ID = 5  ORDER BY DIS.DIS_HORAS, ART_FECHA_UP DESC LIMIT 100;


I have tried to VACUUM / ANALYZE and RECREATE indexes, change search string, but problem remains. If I launch a single select I also works:
SELECT * FROM CANCION C WHERE ( (c.can_nombre_search_string % 'WHAT') ) and ART_ID=223212;

Does anybody have an idea about what could be happening? With postgres 8.1.15 there was no problem with this query...

Thanks in advance.

Hi everybody again.

Deleting rel_dis_can_fk index has solved the problem! But.... why??

I'd hazard a guess that you're getting a lot more rows back from the
bitmap scan of rel_dis_can_fk than the query planner expects.  But
that's just a guess.

Try craniking up your default stats setting and running analyze again
and seeing if it runs fast even with the index.

Explain Analyze from a second database (it's a replica). With original database and index in art_id table it never ends, like the query...:
That is, in original database only works if index rel_dis_can_fk  is deleted, but in replicated one it works without problems. ¿¿¿??? Same hardware, same operating system, same postgres database version....

Wow... thank you very much, Scott.

SELECT pg_stat_reset();
ANALYZE;
And everything working like a charm....

What is the reason for this to happen? Is it common?

It sounds like you might never have ANALYZEd the database at all, or
anyway not have done so recently.  Recommended practice is to ANALYZE
at least as often as you vacuum.  Or turn on autovacuum and let it
take care of it.
