Parsing

All types

Parses a specified table page and returns the path for storing the parsed content.

• Page information viewing
• Tuple (non-user data) information
• Damaged pages and tuples
• Tuple visibility problems
• Verification errors

gs_parse_page_bypath

Index recycle queue (URQ)

Parses key information in the URQ.

• UB-tree index space expansion
• UB-tree index space recycle exceptions
• Verification errors

gs_urq_dump_stat

Rollback segment (undo)

Parses the specified undo record, excluding the old tuple data.

• Expanded undo space
• Undo recycling exceptions
• Rollback exceptions
• Routine maintenance
• Verification errors
• Visibility judgment exceptions
• Parameter modifications

gs_undo_dump_record

Parses all undo records generated by a specified transaction, excluding old tuple data.

gs_undo_dump_xid

Parses all information about transaction slots in a specified undo zone.

gs_undo_translot_dump_slot

Parses the transaction slot information of a specified transaction, including the XID and the range of undo records generated by the transaction.

gs_undo_translot_dump_xid

Parses the metadata of a specified undo zone and displays the pointer usage of undo records and transaction slots.

gs_undo_meta_dump_zone

Parses the undo space metadata corresponding to a specified undo zone and displays the file usage of undo records.

gs_undo_meta_dump_spaces

Parses the slot space metadata corresponding to a specified undo zone and displays the file usage of transaction slots.

gs_undo_meta_dump_slot

Parses the data page and all data of historical versions and returns the path for storing the parsed content.

gs_undo_dump_parsepage_mv

Write ahead log

(WAL)

Parses Xlog within the specified LSN range and returns the path for storing parsed content. You can use pg_current_xlog_location() to obtain the current Xlog position.

• WAL errors
• Log replay errors
• Damaged pages

gs_xlogdump_lsn

Parses Xlog of a specified XID and returns the path for storing parsed content. You can use txid_current() to obtain the current XID.

gs_xlogdump_xid

Parses logs corresponding to a specified table page and returns the path for storing the parsed content.

gs_xlogdump_tablepath

Parses the specified table page and logs corresponding to the table page and returns the path for storing the parsed content. It can be regarded as one execution of gs_parse_page_bypath and gs_xlogdump_tablepath. The prerequisite for executing this function is that the table file exists. To view logs of deleted tables, call gs_xlogdump_tablepath.

gs_xlogdump_parsepage_tablepath

Displays the statistics of the Undo module, including the usage of undo zones and undo links, creation and deletion of undo module files, and recommended values of undo module parameters.

• Undo space expansion
• Undo resource monitoring

gs_stat_undo

Write ahead log

(WAL)

Collects statistics of the memory status table when WALs are written to disks.

• WAL write/disk flushing monitoring
• Suspended WAL write/disk flushing

gs_stat_wal_entrytable

Collects WAL statistics about the disk flushing status and location.

gs_walwriter_flush_position

Collects WAL statistic about the frequency of disk flushing, data volume, and flushing files.

gs_walwriter_flush_stat
