Command-line tool to simplify some common maintenance tasks on PostgreSQL databases

Project description

https://badge.fury.io/py/pgtool.svg Travis CI

PGtool is a command-line tool designed to simplify some common maintenance tasks on PostgreSQL databases. It works with Python 2.7 and 3.3+ using the psycopg2 driver.

Available commands:

cp SOURCE DEST

Uses CREATE DATABASE … TEMPLATE to create a duplicate of a database. Additionally copies over database-specific settings.

When used with –force, an existing database with the same name as DEST is replaced, the original is renamed out of place in the form DEST_old_YYYYMMDD (unless –no-backup is specified).

mv SOURCE DEST

Rename a database within a server.

When used with –force, an existing database with the same name as DEST is replaced, the original is renamed out of place in the form DEST_old_YYYYMMDD (unless –no-backup is specified).

kill DBNAME [DBNAME …]

Kills all active connections to the specified database(s).

reindex IDXNAME [IDXNAME …]

Uses CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY to create a duplicate index, then tries to swap the new index for the original.

The index swap is done using a short lock timeout to prevent it from interfering with running queries. Retries until the rename succeeds.

Changelog

0.0.1 (2015-10-26)

  • Initial public release, commands: ‘cp’, ‘mv’, ‘kill’ & ‘reindex’

Contributing

Code style:

  • In general follow the Python PEP-8 coding style, except line length can go up to 120 chars.

  • Strings that have meaning for humans use double quotes ("), otherwise single quotes ('). When in doubt, don’t worry about it.

  • Code should be compatible with both Python 2 and 3, preferably without version-specific conditionals.

Run the test suite using python setup.py test.
