sql - How to get the current free disk space in Postgres? -

-

i need sure have @ least 1gb of free disk space before start doing work in database. i'm looking this:

select pg_get_free_disk_space();

is possible? (i found nothing in docs).

pg: 9.3 & os: linux/windows

postgresql not have features directly expose disk space.

for 1 thing, disk? production postgresql instance looks this:

  • /pg/pg94/: raid6 of fast reliable storage on bbu raid controller in wb mode, catalogs , important data
  • /pg/pg94/pg_xlog: fast reliable raid1, transaction logs
  • /pg/tablespace-lowredundancy: raid10 of fast cheap storage things indexes , unlogged tables don't care losing can use lower-redundancy storage
  • /pg/tablespace-bulkdata: raid6 or similar of slow near-line magnetic storage used old audit logs, historical data, write-mostly data, , other things can slower access.
  • the postgresql logs somewhere else again, if fills up, system may still stop. depends on number of configuration settings, of can't see postgresql @ all, syslog options.

then there's fact "free" space doesn't mean postgresql can use (think: disk quotas, system-reserved disk space), , fact free blocks/bytes isn't constraint, many file systems have limits on number of files (inodes).

how aselect pg_get_free_disk_space() report this?

knowing free disk space security concern. if supported, it's that'd exposed superuser, @ least.

what can use untrusted procedural language plpythonu make operating system calls interrogate host os disk space information, using queries against pg_catalog.pg_tablespace , using data_directory setting pg_settings discover postgresql keeping stuff on host os. have check mount points (unix/mac) / junction points (windows) discover if pg_xlog, etc, on separate storage. still won't space logs, though.

i'd quite have select * pg_get_free_diskspace reported main datadir space, , mount points or junction points within pg_xlog or pg_clog, , reported each tablespace , mount points within it. it'd set-returning function. cares enough have bother implement for target platforms though, , right now, nobody wants enough work.

in mean time, if you're willing simplify needs to:

  • one file system
  • target os unix/posix-compatible linux
  • there's no quota system enabled
  • there's no root-reserved block percentage
  • inode exhaustion not concern

then can create language plpython3u; , create function language plpython3u function like:

import os st = os.statvfs(datadir_path) return st.f_bavail * st.f_frsize

in function returns bigint , either takes datadir_path argument, or discovers doing spi query select setting pg_settings name = 'data_directory' within pl/python.

if want support windows too, see cross-platform space remaining on volume using python . i'd use windows management interface (wmi) queries rather using ctypes call windows api though.

or use function wrote in pl/perlu using df , mount command output parsing, work on linux, hey, it's prewritten.

java - UML - How would you draw a try catch in a sequence diagram? -

Image
is there standard way of drawing try catch sequence diagrams? i've made attempt based on this feel end result doesn't feel right. code diagram based around: public static void save () { try { filehandle filehandle = gdx.files.external(file); filehandle.writestring(boolean.tostring(constantshandler.soundenabled)+"\n", false); (int = 0; < 5; i++) { filehandle.writestring(integer.tostring(constantshandler.highscores[i])+"\n", true); } } catch (throwable e) { } } my attempt note: know still need add loop. that's ok. fragments meant show conditional control flow in sequence diagram. superstructures puts limitations on use of fragments (see pp. 467 of ss2.1.1). should use critical region try part above. , option catch . however, keep telling can take quite freedom in using uml. it's language , such changes in life time. long reader ge...
