Fault Tolerance

This section describes parameters used for controlling the methods that the server processes an error occurring in the database system.

exit_on_error

Parameter description: Specifies whether to terminate the current session.

Type: SUSET

Value range: Boolean

  • on indicates that any error will terminate the current session.
  • off indicates that only a FATAL error will terminate the current session.

Default value: off

omit_encoding_error

Parameter description: If this parameter is set to on and the client character set of the database is encoded in UTF-8 format, the occurring character encoding conversion errors will be recorded in logs. Additionally, converted characters that have conversion errors will be ignored and replaced with question marks (?).

Type: USERSET

Value range: Boolean

  • on indicates that characters that have conversion errors will be ignored and replaced with question marks (?), and error information will be recorded in logs.
  • off indicates that characters that have conversion errors cannot be converted and error information will be directly displayed.

Default value: off

max_query_retry_times

Parameter description: Specifies the maximum number of automatic retry times when an SQL statement error occurs. Currently, a statement can start retrying if the following errors occur: Connection reset by peer, Lock wait timeout, and Connection timed out. If this parameter is set to 0, the retry function is disabled.

Type: USERSET

Value range: an integer ranging from 0 to 20

Default value: 6

Value range: an integer ranging from 8 to 128. The unit is KB.

Default value: 8 KB

max_cn_temp_file_size

Parameter description: Specifies the maximum number of temporary files that can be used by the CN during automatic SQL statement retries. The value 0 indicates that no temporary file is used.

Type: SIGHUP

Value range: an integer ranging from 0 to 10485760. The unit is KB.

Default value: 5 GB

data_sync_retry

Parameter description: Specifies whether to keep running the database when updated data fails to be written into disks by using the fsync function. In some OSs, no error is reported even if fsync has failed for multiple times. As a result, data is lost.

Type: POSTMASTER

Value range: Boolean

  • on: The database keeps running and fsync is executed again after fsync fails.
  • off: PANIC is reported and the database is stopped after fsync fails.

Default value: off
