Notes

Streaming Replication using Write Ahead Log (WAL) data

2ndQuadrant repmgr for failover management

2ndQuadrant Barman for Backup & Recovery Management

Remote Data Access

9

PostgreSQL Interoperability

10

PostgreSQL Remote Data Access (Pull)

CREATE EXTENSION postgres_fdw;

CREATE SERVER red FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER postgres_fdwOPTIONS …;

IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA myappFROM SERVER redINTO myapp_local;

SELECT * FROM myapp_local.table1;

11

PostgreSQL Foreign Data Wrapper

postgres_fdw• Access to other PostgreSQL servers, even with differing release levels• WHERE clause, joins pushed down to Foreign Server

file_fdw• Allows you to access data in same way as a COPY command

External projects• MySQL• Oracle• ODBC

12

PostgreSQL Pub/Sub Replication (Push)

<manage DDL copying>

CREATE PUBLICATION mypublisheddata;

CREATE SUBSCRIPTION mysubPUBLICATION mypublisheddataCONNECTION ‘service=node1’;

13

PostgreSQL Advanced Features

Push (“Logical”) or Pull Data Access (FDWs)

Multi-server heterogeneous SQL

Improvements in every release

2ndQuadrant pglogical for online upgrade

Multi-node Access

15

Topics

Sharding

Multi-node Query

Multi-master Database

16

Sharding

Store data across multiple nodes in cluster

Access mechanism to route queries and writes

Elastically Scalability to enlarge cluster

17

Multi-node Query

Requires consistency model to retrieve consistent data set

Node redistribution required to handle all join types

Multi-node aware optimizer to understand how to cope

18

Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) withPostgres-XL

19

Postgres-XL

Fork of PostgreSQL 10 to provide Scalable PostgreSQL

Hash distributed tables and replicated tables

Multi-node transactions, Multi-node consistency

Multi-node planner and inter-node data redistribution

High volume Data Load Queue

Multi-Master Replication/ Very High Availability architecture

2-way Logical Replication with conflict detection/handling

Duplicated and Local tables

Write scaling with local nodes

24

Multi-node Options
