Project description

https://badge.fury.io/py/pgextras.png https://travis-ci.org/scottwoodall/python-pgextras.png?branch=master https://pypip.in/d/pgextras/badge.png https://coveralls.io/repos/scottwoodall/python-pgextras/badge.png

Unofficial Python port of Heroku’s pgextras that provides various statistics for a Postgres instance. The biggest difference of this module is that your Postgres database can be anywhere, not just hosted with Heroku.

Features

Note: pgextras does not format the output as seen in all the examples below. Instead it returns an iterable that contains namedtuples. For example, the “Total Indexes Size” method returns the following:

[
    Record(table='pgbench_accounts', index_size='2208 kB'),
    Record(table='pgbench_tellers', index_size='16 kB'),
    Record(table='pgbench_branches', index_size='16 kB'),
    Record(table='pgbench_history', index_size='0 bytes')
]

It’s up to you on how to format and present the data. The results below are formatted to make it easier to understand the data available to you.

Cache Hit

Calculates your cache hit rate (effective databases are at 99% and up):

| name           |    ratio |
|----------------+----------|
| index hit rate | 0.999888 |
| table hit rate | 0.999696 |

Index Usage

Calculates your index hit rate (effective databases are at 99% and up):

| relname          |   percent_of_times_index_used |   rows_in_table |

| pgbench_history  |                               |          149985 |
| pgbench_accounts |                            99 |          100000 |

History

0.2.0 (2014-05-06)
  • Added a CLI option. Original idea for this came from Marek Wywiał.

  • Remove commas from integer output so no additional parsing is needed if someone wants to store the results.

  • Make API more consistent by not raising an exception when the “pg_stat_statement” module is not installed. Instead a list with a single namedtuple containing the error message is returned.

0.1.1 (2014-05-01)
  • updated documentation

  • increased test coverage

0.1.0 (2014-04-25)
  • First release on PyPI.
