PostGres SQL • Presented by : Chandan , Markandey Amit , Kiran Harshada , Prachi
Introduction • What is ‘ PostGres ‘ ? • An overview on Classes Inferitance Arrays Geometric Types
Inheritance • A class can inherit from zero or more other classes. • A query can reference to either all instances of a class or all instances of a class plus all of its descendents. • The inheritance hierarchy is a directed acyclic graph.
Inheritance ( Cont. ) • CREATE TABLE cities ( name text , population int, altitude int ) ; • CREATE TABLE capitals ( state char10 ) INHERITS ( cities ) ;
Arrays • Valid for variable-length & fixed-length multi-dimensional arrays. • Array with n elements start by array[1] and ends with array[n]. • CREATE TABLE sal_emp ( name text, pay int4[ ], schedule text[ ][ ] ) ;
Geometric Types • Represent two dimensional spatial object. • Points , Circle , Infinite Line , Rectangular Box etc. • PostGres geometric type : ( x , y ) Point in Space ( (x1,y1) , (x2,y2)) Line < ( x , y ) , r > Circle
CreateUser • Name : createuser - Create a new postgres user • Synopsis : createuser [ options] [username] • Inputs : - h : host. Host specifies the hostname of machine on which postmaster is running.
CreateUser ( Cont. ) - e : echo . Echo the queries that createdb generates and sends to the backend. username : Specifies the name of the postgres user to be created .This name must be unique among all postgres users.
CreateUser ( Cont .) • Outputs : CREATE USER All is well createuser : creation of user “username” failed. Something went wrong . The user was not created.
CreateUser ( Cont. ) • Description : • createuser creates a new PostGres user. Only users with usesuper set in the pg_shadow class can create new PostGres users.
CreateUser ( Cont. ) • Usage : To create user joe on the default database server. $ createuser joe Is the new user allowed to create databases? n CREATE USER
DropUser • Name : dropuser - Drops (removes) a postgres user. • Synopsis : dropuser [ options] [username] • Inputs : - h : host .Host specifies the host name of machine on which postmaster is running.
DropUser ( Cont. ) • - e : echo . Echo the queries that createdb generates and sends to the backend. • Username : Specifies the name of the postgres user to be removed. This name must exist in the postgres installation.
DropUser ( Cont. ) • Output : DROP USER All is well. Dropuser : deletion of user “username” failed. Something went wrong. The user was not removed.
DropUser ( Cont. ) • Description : • dropuser removes an existing user and the databases which that user owned . Only users with usesuper set in the pg_shadow class can destroy postgres users.
DropUser ( Cont. ) • Usage : to remove user joe from the default database server. $ dropuser joe DROP USER
Applications • Createdb - Create a new PostGres database. • Destroydb - Remove an existing PostGres database . • Createlang : Add a new programming language to a postgres database. • Droplang : Remove a programming language from a postgres database.
Pg_Dump • Name : pg_dump - Extract a PostGres database into a script file. • Synopsis : pg_dump [options] [dbname]
Cont. • Inputs : • dbname : Specifies the name of the database to be extracted. Dbname defaults to the value of the USER environment variable. • -a : Dump out only the data, no schema. • -c : Clean schema prior to create
Cont. • Output pg_dump will create a file or write to stdout • Description pg_dump is a utility for dumping out a postgres database into a script file containing query commands.
Cont. • The script files are in text format and can be used to reconstruct database ,even on other machine and other architecture.pg_dump will produce the queries necessary to regenerate all user defined types ,functions,tables,indices,aggregates and operators.
Cont. • Usage To dump a database of the same name as the user: $pg_dump > db.out To reload this database: $psql -e database < db.out
