Example: select * from pg_stat_user_tables ; select count(*) from pg_stat_user_tables ; select * from pg_stat_all_tables ; pipaliya

Earlier today, I was trying to restore my PostgreSQL (8.1.22) database from production using pgAdmin III. However, after the restoration procedure finished, it started throwing errors like: WARNING: errors ignored on restore: 4 Also, upon investigation I found that out of all the tables 3 tables hadn't been restored (contained 0 rows).

I have been googling for more than 2 hours, but I am really stuck with this one. I want PostgreSQL (I am using version 8.4 on Debian) to start logging slow queries only. To that extend I use the following configuration in postgresql.conf : log_destination = 'csvlog' logging_collector = on log_min_messages = log log_min_duration_statement = 1000 log_duration = on log_line_prefix = '%t ' log_statement = 'all' The rest of the configuration is all on default settings (commented out). The logging works, but it logs all statements, even the ones below the threshold of 1000 (ms). If I do a 'show all'

I use PostgreSQL 8.4.11 and find strange error. When I query: SELECT "documents_document"."given_on" FROM "documents_document" WHERE (EXTRACT('month' FROM "documents_document"."given_on") = 1 AND "documents_document"."given_on" BETWEEN '1-01-01 00:00:00' and '1-12-31 23:59:59.999999') ORDER BY "documents_document"."created_on" DESC I get results: given_on ------------ 2002-01-16 2011-01-25 2012-01-12 2012-01-12 2012-01-12 2012-01-20 2012-01-19 2012-01-13 2012-01-31 2012-01-16 2012-01-31 2012-01-12 ... Why? I would expect dates in interval 1-01-01 ... 1-12-31. You expected 1-01-01 ... 1-12-31 .

I logged in to source database template1 and now I can't create database. When I try to create database, I get this error: OperationalError: source database "template1" is being accessed by other users DETAIL: There are 5 other session(s) using the database. Every time I login to template1, I use 'exit' command to logout, but as you can see it does not logout and number of sessions increases everytime I login. Is there a way to force disconnect every connection to template1 that logged in now? Database template1 exists only to provide barebone structure to create another empty database. You
