Just what to do, no discussion.

Postgres in docker: random «unique violation» errors

While running postgres in docker (for development, of course), from time to time I just run into errors like «Duplicate Key Value Violates Unique Constraint». I found the solution (thanks to this answer, for sure — https://stackoverflow.com/a/47089825/801426): if you have a table called «[table]», just do this

SELECT setval('[table]_id_seq', (SELECT MAX(id) FROM [table]));

1	SELECT setval('[table]_id_seq', (SELECT MAX(id) FROM [table]));

Another cool article on using PostgreSQL+pgBouncer with go

Extremely interesting and very practical talk about problems occurring with go+pgBouncer (in Russian, sorry). https://habr.com/ru/company/oleg-bunin/blog/461935/ And a video on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uojy57I-xP0

PgBouncer and prepared statements

In our system, we use connection pooler called PgBouncer as a proxy to PostgreSQL server. PgBouncer has two main modes Session pooling mode This mode is less performant (it’s a default mode). When a client connects, a server connection will be assigned to it for the whole duration it stays connected. So it does not …

ORM for go

https://github.com/Masterminds/squirrel Never used it as we always write SQL queries manually. But looks okay for ORM (well, actually a query-builder).

PostgreSQL: TOP slow queries

SELECT rolname,
    calls,
    total_time,
    mean_time,
    max_time,
    stddev_time,
    rows,
    query,
    regexp_replace(query, '[ \t\n]+', ' ', 'g') AS query_oneline
FROM pg_stat_statements
JOIN pg_roles r ON r.oid = userid
WHERE calls > 100
AND rolname NOT LIKE '%backup'
ORDER BY mean_time DESC
LIMIT 15;

SELECT rolname,

Golang, PostgreSQL and array_agg

If you have SQL like this:

Place it into xml file and import into DataGrip or another jetbrains’ product

PostgreSQL: using indices on json fields

It’s obviously a really bad idea. But if you really need it, that’s what you can do.
