Dual-Cluster DR Query Functions

  • gs_get_local_barrier_status()

    Description: If two-city 3DC DR is enabled, the primary cluster and standby cluster for DR synchronize logs. The barrier log is flushed to disks in the primary cluster, and replayed in the standby cluster for DR to determine the archive log progress of the primary cluster and the log replay progress of the standby cluster for DR. gs_get_local_barrier_status is used to query the current log replay status of each node in the standby cluster for DR.

    Return type: text

    barrier_id: latest barrier ID of a node in the standby cluster for DR.

    barrier_lsn: LSN of the latest barrier ID returned by a node in the standby cluster for DR.

    archive_lsn: location of archived logs obtained by a node in the standby cluster for DR. This parameter does not take effect currently.

    flush_lsn: location of logs that have been flushed to disks on a node in the standby cluster for DR.

  • gs_hadr_in_recovery()

    Description: Checks whether the current node is in barrier-based log restoration if two-city 3DC DR is enabled. If it is in restoration, true is returned. Only after the log restoration is complete, can the standby cluster for DR be promoted to the production cluster during the switchover process. This operation must be performed by a system administrator.

    Return type: Boolean

    This function is used only when a planned switchover is performed in the DR cluster.

  • gs_streaming_dr_get_switchover_barrier()

    Description: Checks whether the CN and first standby DN in the standby cluster for DR have received the switchover barrier logs and replayed the logs in the streaming replication-based two-city 3DC DR solution. If it has, true is returned. In the standby cluster for DR, the procedure for promoting the DR database instance to the production database instance in the switchover process can be started only after the switchover barrier logs of all DNs are replayed (restricted to the system administrator).

    Return type: Boolean

    Note: This function is used only when a planned switchover is performed in the DR database instance in streaming DR solutions.

  • gs_streaming_dr_service_truncation_check()

    Description: Checks whether the CN and primary DN in the primary cluster has sent the switchover barrier logs in the streaming replication-based two-city 3DC DR solution. If it has, true is returned. The procedure for demoting the production database instance to the DR database instance in the switchover process can be started only after the logs are sent (restricted to the system administrator).

    Return type: Boolean

    Note: This function is used only when a planned switchover is performed in the DR database instance.

  • gs_hadr_local_rto_and_rpo_stat()

    Description: Displays the log flow control information of the local database instance and DR database instance for streaming DR. (If this command is executed on a node that does not participate in streaming DR, for example, a standby DN or a CN, no information may be returned.)

    The return value type is record. The types and meanings of the columns are as described in Table 1.

  • gs_hadr_remote_rto_and_rpo_stat()

    Description: Displays the log flow control information of all other shards or CN database instances and DR database instances for streaming DR. (Generally, this command is executed on CNs. If this command is executed on DNs, no information may be returned.)

    The return value type is record. The types and meanings of the columns are as described in Table 2.
