GaussDB（DWS） stay SQL In the process of execution , It will record the addition, deletion, modification and query of relevant runtime Statistics , After the transaction is committed or rolled back, it is recorded in the shared memory .

This information can be obtained through  “pg_stat_all_tables View ”  Inquire about , You can also query through the following functions .

pg_stat_get_tuples_inserted -- Table accumulation insert Number of pieces
pg_stat_get_tuples_updated -- Table accumulation update Number of pieces
pg_stat_get_tuples_deleted -- Table accumulation delete Number of pieces
pg_stat_get_tuples_changed -- Table since last analyze since , Number of changes
pg_stat_get_last_analyze_time -- Query the last analyze Time

therefore , Based on shared memory  “ Table since last analyze Number of entries modified since ”  Whether a certain threshold is exceeded , You can decide whether you need to do analyze 了 .

1.  How to record statistics in a transaction

Every session There is one PgStat_TableStatus Memory structure , Each table accessed by the current transaction occupies one .

It contains the statistics of each level of sub transaction , With the structure PgStat_TableXactStatus describe . Various information about the addition, deletion, modification and query of the current sub transaction is recorded here .

pg_stat_get_xact_numscans -- The current transaction is on the current table , Number of times to start sequential scanning
pg_stat_get_xact_tuples_returned -- The current transaction is on the current table , Number of visible tuples captured by sequential scanning .
pg_stat_get_xact_tuples_fetched -- The current transaction is on the current table , The number of visible tuples captured .
pg_stat_get_xact_tuples_inserted -- The current transaction is on the current table , Insert the number of
pg_stat_get_xact_tuples_deleted -- The current transaction is on the current table , Delete the number
pg_stat_get_xact_tuples_updated -- The current transaction is on the current table , Number of updates
pg_stat_get_xact_tuples_hot_updated -- The current transaction is on the current table ,HOT Number of updates
pg_stat_get_xact_blocks_fetched -- The current transaction is on the current table , Number of pages selected
pg_stat_get_xact_blocks_hit -- The current transaction is on the current table , Number of pages scanned
pg_stat_get_xact_function_calls -- The current transaction is on the current function , Call the number
pg_stat_get_xact_function_total_time -- The current transaction is on the current function , Total execution time of all calls
pg_stat_get_xact_function_self_time -- The current transaction is on the current function , The execution time of the last call
pg_stat_get_xact_partition_tuples_inserted -- The current transaction is on the current table partition , Insert the number of
pg_stat_get_xact_partition_tuples_deleted -- The current transaction is on the current table partition , Delete the number
pg_stat_get_xact_partition_tuples_updated -- The current transaction is on the current table partition , Number of updates
pg_stat_get_xact_partition_tuples_hot_updated -- The current transaction is on the current table partition ,HOT Number of updates

When a transaction is committed, the current table , Summary of information in all sub transactions , And dump to pgstat in .

2.  How to record statistics outside a transaction

When a transaction is committed, the execution information in the transaction is passed through UDP A message is sent to PgCollector Background thread , It records to the unified memory , And dump it to the physical file when the cluster stops normally pg_stat_tmp/pgstat.stat in .

pg_stat_get_function_calls -- The number of times the function has been called .
pg_stat_get_function_total_time -- Total wall clock time spent by this function , In microseconds . Include the time spent on this function call .
pg_stat_get_function_self_time -- Only time spent on this function in the current transaction . It does not include the time spent calling functions .

3.  Single node statistics

Every CN and DN node , Record their own statistics . You can use the above functions to view .

in addition ,CN In addition, deletion and modification SQL At the end of execution , Will all DN The number of returned pieces of information is recorded to CN Their own pgstat In structure , Constitute the overall statistical information .

4.  Cluster global statistics

each CN Each of us is defending our own pgstat Information , Therefore, if you want to know the global , Also need to report to all CN Query and summarize .

5.  The lifecycle of statistics

pgstat The statistics in are runtime information , This information is outside the transaction , Data consistency is not strictly guaranteed .

When the database stops abnormally, all data will be cleared , A normal stop preserves the data .

6.  Maintenance of statistical information

This information is in execution SQL Is automatically recorded , No manual maintenance is required .
