Three Aiken people have been arrested and charged with a number of drug violations, including trafficking heroin, after Aiken County Sheriff's Office Narcotics Investigators followed up on drug activity complaints in the Oxford Trace neighborhood.
On Tuesday at approximately 9:30 p.m., investigators conducted a traffic stop in the neighborhood on a vehicle occupied by Cheryl Wright and Russell Whitt.
After a search of the vehicle, both Wright and Whitt were arrested and charged with trafficking heroin, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Investigators were able to obtain a search warrant for 1321 Oxpen Court where an "illegal, clandestine lab" was discovered, leading to the arrest of Adam Sloan.
The Sheriff's Office reported Sloan has been charged with trafficking heroin, trafficking LSD, possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number, possession of a sawed-off shotgun and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.
Sheriff Michael Hunt said, "These arrests are a prime example of the community being vigilant and providing us with a tip on suspicious activity that has been happening in their area. We could not have been successful in this case without their help."
This is still an ongoing investigation, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Criminal activity can be reported by calling the Sheriff's Office at 803-648-6811 or CrimeStoppers with a tip or information at 888-CRIME-SC.

Maybe it's the ad's strikingly handsome spokesman dressed in fireman's gear. Maybe it's the fact that his shirt has a winsome habit of disappearing, revealing sculpted pecs. Maybe it's the beret-wearing kitten he chats with. In French.
Whatever the reason, you don't have to watch Sauza Blue Tequila's latest YouTube video long before realizing this is not exactly your father's liquor ad. Or your boyfriend's.
With millions of views, the "Make it with a Fireman" video launched this year has caused quite a stir. Brand officials say social media mentions of Sauza are up and the adorable blue-eyed kitten costar has built a fan base of its own.
On a broader scale, the ad reflects a slight shift in spirits marketing as some producers look beyond traditional male-oriented campaigns.
"Companies are realizing that women comprise a very heavy percentage of the cocktail-drinking community and I believe they are starting to speak more directly to women without the fear that they're going to alienate the male base," says Allison Evanow, one of the relatively few female executives in the spirits industry as founder and CEO of Square One Organic Spirits in San Francisco. "There's more advertising that is either targeted to women or at least is not quite as male-dominated."
For Sauza, the decision to engage female consumers was prompted by data showing that a good chunk of tequila sold is being consumed in margaritas. And those margaritas are being consumed by women. "So you just look at that and you go, 'Wow! We should really be talking to this demographic,'" says Kevin George, chief marketing officer for Beam Inc., which owns Sauza.
Sauza's all-digital campaign started with suggested recipes for ladies nights in or out, and this year they looked at ways to deliver that message in a new context, hence the fireman ad created by Euro RSCG Chicago.
Striking the same tongue-in-cheek note as the Old Spice TV spots featuring Isaiah Mustafa, "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like," the Sauza YouTube video is a mash-up of female appeal ? Firemen! Kittens! ? and aims to be just over-the-top enough to let women know they're in on the joke.
More ads are planned in the Sauza campaign. Meanwhile, the company has other brands with a feminine touch, include Red Stag Bourbon, launched in a black cherry flavor in 2009 and in honey tea and spiced versions this year, along with Skinnygirl Cocktails and Courvoisier Rose.

U.S. Rep. West runs the distance for more than politics
Congressman to run half marathon here Saturday
TRADITION — Few, if any, sitting congressmen can run a 13.1-mile race.
In fact, U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Plantation, said he thinks he might be the only congressman running long distance races.
West will take a break from representing constituents in South Florida and battling for the new District 18 seat that will cover Martin, St. Lucie and parts of Palm Beach county to run Torrey Pines Institute's Race for Research on Saturday.
It will be West's fourth half marathon since the fall.
Q. How did you get started running?
A. I was a track athlete back in school. Of course I did the hurdles. I did the high hurdles and the 330 (yard) intermediate. When I got to the University of Tennessee and got in the ROTC program I had to start doing a different type of running. It was quite an interesting transition to go from being a sprinter and a hurdler to running a 2-mile race for time.
I really fell in love with distance running, and it's something I've been doing throughout my military career. And now, as I'm retired, it's relaxing. It's a great way to get out and enjoy time with people who share a common interest.
Q. Why do you enjoy running?
A. Peace and solitude. When I'm in session up in Washington, D.C., I get up and try to put in 5 to 6 miles. If I don't have an early start, I might stretch it to 7. I run past the Capitol, down past the Washington Monument. It gives real peace and solitude. And it's a challenge as well. At 51, I can still push myself to stay as fit as I possibly can.
Q. You mentioned the National Mall in D.C. What's your favorite place to run?
A. Well, in DC along the Mall. Down here running at sunrise along the ocean.
Q. You've mentioned in our news stories that you are looking at moving to the Treasure Coast area. Where are you looking at?
A. We're looking at the Jupiter/Tequesta area ... My wife works with Raymond James (financial services company) at the Fort Lauderdale office and she would be able to work out of the West Palm Beach office. We're looking at Jupiter Christian for our youngest daughter who is a ninth-grader.
Q. Are you scouting out running spots?
A. As long as there's an open area I will always have a great place to run unless there's a major thoroughfare or something. That's the great thing about running. You can always find a place to run. I love the coastal area there. I'm looking forward to being up there on the Treasure Coast for the Race for Research Half Marathon.
Q. How many half marathons have you done?
A. This will be the fourth I've run in this season going back to December. I'm probably at nine since I retired.
Q. What is your best time?
A. My best time was 1 hour, 47 minutes. That was right after I retired down here in 2004-2005. I was a lot leaner back then — and younger. I'm hoping to make 2:04 to 2:07. I really don't have the time to put in the type of distance I need to train for a half marathon. I just try to maintain a good strong, steady pace through mile 10 and then just gut it out for the last 3.
Q. What do you think about while running?
A. You think about a lot. You replay the week's events. I think about the road ahead. I thank God for the blessings he's bestowed upon me. I think back to when I was born back in 1961 and where I've come and it's an incredible American story. Sometimes I play some tunes in my head. I just enjoy the environment if I'm running along the Mall or through my neighborhood right now in Plantation or along the coastline.
Q. Do you listen to music when you run?
A. I think when you're out there running by yourself you need to be very aware of your surroundings because some people don't pay attention ... You've got to pay attention.
Q. What is your proudest accomplishment as a runner?
A. It would probably be most recently for the first time I ran the Army 10-miler in Washington, D.C. To be there and see all the incredible wounded warriors running with prosthetic devices, that's just an inspiration to you to push yourself a little harder.
Q. How do you train?
A. I try to have five good run workouts a week, 28-32 miles a week. Sometimes I can hit it and sometimes I fall a little short. I try to combine that with calisthenics, crunches and stomach work and that's my workout.
Q. What's the hardest part about running for you?
A. The hardest part I think everyone will agree is rolling out of bed and just getting started. I was a paratrooper in the Army, so I have to take glucosamine for my joints. Definitely rolling out of bed and getting started. The first mile is a big challenge.
Q. What are your goals as a runner?
A. My goal as a runner is to stay in the best possible shape that I can. I lost my parents at young age ... I want to stay as healthy as I can to be there for my daughters.
Q. Are you the fastest congressman?A. I might be the only congressmen out there running long distance races. It depends on the distance. But at 13 miles, I might be.
Q. Who wins a half marathon: You or Bill Clinton circa 1992?
A. Me of course.
Q. Anything else you want to add?
A. No, I'm just looking forward to the race and looking forward to being out on the road with people who share a like interest.

Rapid Reaction: Oakland Raiders
By Paul Gutierrez
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A few thoughts on the
Oakland Raiders
' 37-27
to the
New York Jets
What it means
: Try as they might to dismiss the gravity of the situation, the Raiders have now lost 13 straight games in the Eastern time zone, dating to Dec. 6, 2009, while getting outscored by a combined 416-225, and they are a combined 5-30 three time zones away since Dec. 15, 2002. And Oakland's defense allowed a heretofore struggling Jets offense -- New York had scored a combined 20 points in its previous three games -- to get on track to score a season high in points, while a blocked punt for a touchdown also helped the Jets. It was the Raiders' fifth defeat in six games.
Stock watch
: Rising --Ā
Marcel Reece
.ĀThe purported "matchup nightmare" showed exactly why and how he garnered that moniker as the Pro Bowl fullback started at tailback, with
Rashad Jennings
Darren McFadden
Jeremy Stewart
all injured and inactive, and broke off a career-long 63-yard touchdown run. He finished with 123 yards rushing on 19 carries to become the first player to rush for 100 yards against the Jets this season, He also had two receptions for 38 yards.
A familiar face
: The last time
Terrelle Pryor
saw the field, it was
field ... on Nov. 10 ... against the
New York Giants
. Ineffectiveness and injury sent Pryor to the sidelines and put
Matt McGloin
under center. But Pryor had one series in this game, after two ineffective series by McGloin, and moved the offense to the tune of five first downs and a field goal. It was the only action he saw, though.
Defense sans a D:
Oakland's defense, having last played on Thanksgiving Day, should have been fresher, right? Alas, poor tackling reared its ugly head again and the third-down defense was atrocious. The Jets converted seven of their first 12 third-down conversions, which contributed to the Raiders' defense tiring late and contributing to the poor tackling.
What's next
: The Raiders (4-9) play host to the
Kansas City Chiefs
(10-3) in only their second home game since Nov. 4. It will be the first of three straight games against AFC West opponents to close the season. On Oct. 13, the Raiders jumped to a 7-0 lead that would have been 10-0 were it not for a missed
Sebastian Janikowski
field goal. The then-undefeated Chiefs sacked Pryor nine times in a 24-7 Kansas City victory.

Due to a number of bugs capable of crashing a back-end, we have released 2.1.8. If you are running an earlier version on a public site, we recommend that you update as soon as possible.
View all closed tickets for 2.0.8.
Finding its origin as a fix for pg_rewind where rewind process could fail if a file marked as listed in the source server was removed before fetching its data (see more details here, this could impact temporary files or relation file for example), here is a small feature of PostgreSQL 9.5 that may be useful for application developers:
commit: cb2acb1081e13b4b27a76c6b5311115528e49c59
author: Heikki Linnakangas <firstname.lastname@example.com>
date: Sun, 28 Jun 2015 21:35:46 +0300
Add missing_ok option to the SQL functions for reading files.
This makes it possible to use the functions without getting errors, if there
is a chance that the file might be removed or renamed concurrently.
pg_rewind needs to do just that, although this could be useful for other
purposes too. (The changes to pg_rewind to use these functions will come in
a separate commit.)
The read_binary_file() function isn't very well-suited for extensions.c's
purposes anymore, if it ever was. So bite the bullet and make a copy of it
in extension.c, tailored for that use case. This seems better than the
accidental code reuse, even if it's a some more lines of code.
Michael Paquier, with plenty of kibitzing by me.
Postgres has a set of superuser functions allowing to have a look at the files of PGDATA from the SQL interface:
With the above commit, all those functions have gained a missing_ok option allowing to not fail should a file (or path for pg_ls_dir) selected by the user not exist, returning a NULL result instead (or more or less an empty record for pg_ls_dir). In each case, the default is false.
In the case of pg_read_file and pg_read_binary_file, this new boolean flag is available with a new 4-argument version of those functions (for backward-compatibility purposes).
Today saw the release of PostgreSQL 9.5 Alpha 1. Packages for all supported Debian and Ubuntu releases are available on apt.postgresql.org:
deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ YOUR_RELEASE_HERE-pgdg main 9.5
The package is also waiting in NEW to be accepted for Debian experimental.
Being curious which PostgreSQL releases have been in use over time, I pulled some graphics from Debian's popularity contest data:
Before we included the PostgreSQL major version in the package name, "postgresql" contained the server, so that line represents the installation count of the pre-7.4 releases at the left end of the graph.
Interestingly, 7.4 reached its installation peak well past 8.1's. Has anyone an idea why that happened?
There was Unix, Linux and Windows. They all run on hardware and that hardware all has bugs. What is the best way to work around hardware bugs? Backups.
You haven't had bad hardware, only bad developers? That's o.k., we have a solution to them too. It is called backups.
You haven't had bad hardware or bad developers, just bosses who still demand to have direct access to the data even though they haven't proven an ability to extract useful information without an extreme amount of hand holding? That's o.k., we have a solution to them too. It is called backups.
You haven't had any of the above? Lucky you! Can we move to your country or will you share whatever it is that you are putting in your tea? It sounds fantastic.
Either way, we have a solution to your data confidence, it is called backups and that is what this training is about.
After so much time missing this features, HypoPG implements hypothetical indexes support for PostgreSQl, available as an extension.
It's now been some time since the second version of PoWA has been announced. One of the new feature of this version is the pg_qualstats extension, written by Ronan Dunklau.
Thanks to this extension, we can now gather real-time statistics to detect missing indexes, and much more (if you're interested in this extension, you should read Ronan's article about pg_qualstats). And used with PoWA, you have an interface that allows you to find the most consuming queries, and will suggest you the missing indexes if they're needed.
That's really nice, but now a lot of people come with this natural question: Ok, you say that I should create this index, but will PostgreSQL eventually use it ?. That's actually a good question, because depending on many parameters (in many other things), PostgreSQL could choose to just ignore your freshly created index. That could be a really bad surprise, especially if you had to wait many hours to have it built.
So yes, the answer to this question is hypothetical indexes support. That's really not a new idea, a lot of popular RDBMS support them.
There has already been some previous work on this several years ago, presented at pgCon 2010, which was implenting much more than hypothetical indexes, but this was a research work, which means that we never saw those features coming up in PostgreSQL. This great work is only available as a fork of a few specific PostgreSQL versions, the most recent being 9.0.1.
I had quite a different approach in HypoPG to implement hypothetical indexes support.
Back in the old days, upgrading Postgres required doing a pg_dump and loading the resulting logical SQL into the new database. This could be a very slow, very painful process, requiring a lot of downtime. While there were other solutions (such as Bucardo) that allowed little (or even zero) downtime, setting them up was a large complex task. Enter the pg_upgrade program, which attempts to upgrade a cluster with minimal downtime. Just how fast is it? I grew tired of answering this question from clients with vague answers such as "it depends" and "really, really fast" and decided to generate some data for ballpark answers.
Spoiler: it's either about 3.5 times as fast as pg_dump, or insanely fast at a flat 15 seconds or so. Before going further, let's discuss the methodology used.
I used the venerable pgbench program to generate some sample tables and data, and then upgraded the resulting database, going from Postgres version 9.3 to 9.4. The pgbench program comes with Postgres, and simply requires an --initialize argument to create the test tables. There is also a --scale argument you can provide to increase the amount of initial data - each increment increases the number of rows in the largest table, pgbench_accounts, by one hundred thousand rows. Here are the scale runs I did, along with the number of rows and overall database size for each level:
|Rows in pgbench_accounts
|Database size
To test the speed of the pg_dump program, I used this simple command:
$ pg_dump postgres | psql postgres -q -p 5433 -f -
I did make one important optimization, which was to set fsync off on the target database (version 9.4). Although this setting should never be turned off in production - or anytime y
PostGIS 2.2 is planned to reach feature freeze June 30th 2015 so we can make the September PostgreSQL 9.5 curtain call with confidence. Great KNN enhancements for PostgreSQL 9.5 only users. I've been busy getting all my ducks lined up. A lot on tiger geocoder and address standardizer extension to be shipped with windows builds, story for later. One other feature we plan to ship with the windows PostGIS 2.2 builds is the ogr_fdw ogr_fdw Foreign data wrapper extension. I've been nagging Paul Ramsey a lot about issues with it, this in particular https://github.com/pramsey/pgsql-ogr-fdw/issues/25, and after some prodding, he finally put his nose in and fixed them and pinged Even Rouault for some help on a GDAL specific item.
Needless to say, I've been super happy with the progress and support I've gotten with ogr_fdw development and really enjoying my ogr_fdw use. The XLSX reading a file saved after the connection was open required a fix in GDAL 2.0 branch (which missed GDAL 2.0.0 release, so because of this, this new package contains a GDAL 2.0.1ish library. Hopeful GDAL 2.0.1 will be out before PostGIS 2.2.0 comes out so I can release without guilt with this fix.
jsonb is coming up with a set of new features in Postgres 9.5. Most of them have been introduced by the following commit:
commit: c6947010ceb42143d9f047c65c1eac2b38928ab7
author: Andrew Dunstan <email@example.com>
date: Tue, 12 May 2015 15:52:45 -0400
Additional functions and operators for jsonb
jsonb_pretty(jsonb) produces nicely indented json output.
jsonb || jsonb concatenates two jsonb values.
jsonb - text removes a key and its associated value from the json
jsonb - int removes the designated array element
jsonb - text[] removes a key and associated value or array element at
the designated path
jsonb_replace(jsonb,text[],jsonb) replaces the array element designated
by the path or the value associated with the key designated by the path
with the given value.
Original work by Dmitry Dolgov, adapted and reworked for PostgreSQL core
by Andrew Dunstan, reviewed and tidied up by Petr Jelinek.
Note that some slight modifications have been done after this commit though. So the list of new operators and functions presented here is not exactly the one listed in this commit log but the one that will be included in Postgres 9.5 alpha 1 that will be released next week. Also, something worth mentioning is that portion of this work is available as the extension jsonbx that is compatible even with 9.4 installations (see here).
So, 4 new operators have been added in the existing jsonb set in 9.5.
jsonb || jsonb for concatenation on two jsonb fields, where two things can be noted. First, key name ordering is done depending on their names (this is not surprising as on-disk-format is a parsed tree). Then, the last value of a given key will be used as jsonb enforces key uniqueness, even of course if values are of json type.
=# SELECT '{"a1":"v1","a3":"v3"}'::jsonb || '{"a2":"v2"}'::jsonb AS field;
{"a1": "v1", "a2": "v2", "a3": "v3"}
(1 row)
=# SELECT '{"a1":{"b1":"y1","b2":"y2"},"a2":"v2"}'::jsonb ||
'{"a1":"v1"}'::jsonb AS field;
In the wake of DockerCon, the July meetup in San Francisco will be all about Linux Containers:
If you're not familiar with all of this containerish stuff, Josh Berkus will do a 5-minute primer on using Postgres with Docker at the beginning of the session. Hosted by Salesforce.com in their new Rincon Cafe.
(note: Salesforce will require attendees to RSVP with their full names, and sign a confidentiality statement, which will be supplied to attendees in advance)
As a database, PGDB (PostgreSQL) is fairly standard in its use of SQL. Developers of all colors however, might have trouble switching gears and thinking in set operations, since so many language constructs focus on conditionals and looping. Last week in the performance pitfalls series, we discussed a bit of Set Theory, and how ignorance of its implications can be disastrous. But what about the more mundane?
What happens, for instance, when we treat a database like a programming language?
This time, the example tables will emulate a pretty terrible ordering system with a user table of 1000 users, and a million orders distributed over roughly the last three years. Here it is, in all its glory:
CREATE TABLE sys_user ( user_id SERIAL NOT NULL, username VARCHAR NOT NULL, password VARCHAR NOT NULL, last_order TIMESTAMPTZ NULL, created_dt TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(), modified_dt TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now() ); INSERT INTO sys_user (username, password, created_dt, modified_dt) SELECT 'user' || a.id, md5('use-bcrypt-instead' || 'user' || a.id || 'somepassword'), now() - (a.id % 1000 || 'd')::INTERVAL, now() - (a.id % 100 || 'd')::INTERVAL FROM generate_series(1, 1000) a(id); ALTER TABLE sys_user ADD CONSTRAINT pk_user_id PRIMARY KEY (user_id); ANALYZE sys_user; CREATE TABLE sys_order ( order_id SERIAL NOT NULL, product_id INT NOT NULL, user_id INT NOT NULL, item_count INT NOT NULL, order_dt TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(), valid_dt TIMESTAMPTZ NULL ); INSERT INTO sys_order (product_id, item_count, user_id, order_dt, valid_dt) SELECT (a.id % 100000) + 1, (a.id % 100) + 1, (a.id % 1000) + 1, now() - (a.id % 1000 || 'd')::INTERVAL, CASE WHEN a.id % 499 = 0 THEN NULL ELSE now() - (id % 999 || 'd')::INTERVAL END FROM generate_series(1, 1000000) a(id); ALTER TABLE sys_order ADD CON

Well, I've returned from PGCon 2015 in Canada, and after a couple days to decompress, it's time to share. I wrote about the PGCon 2014 unconference after returning to Chicago last year, so I felt it was only fitting that I start there. I feel as strongly now as I did a year ago, that directly interacting with the PostgreSQL maintainers at this level helps the community thrive. Even though PGCon is generally a more developer-focused conference, being able to brainstorm with the bigwigs, even if nothing comes of it, means the ideas have been given a fair shake.
The format this year was quite a bit different than last year. I attribute this to Josh Berkus once again, in what I see as his attempt to formalize the process and give it more weight. Indeed, it's hard to argue with his results. Just take a look at the 2015 Unconference Wiki page. It's a deluge of information I wish we had about the 2014 talks, from attendees and talk summaries, to relevant external links and the all-important schedule. I'm a bit biased in that regard because I tend to produce and consume vast swaths of excessive information, but it's an excellent reflection on how much the PostgreSQL community values documentation in general.
Unfortunately due to inclement weather, I missed the voting process and the first day of talks entirely. I desperately missed watching the talk selection process, though Josh said they did a lot of that electronically because several people would be late to the conference. I'm not sure how I missed that, so I'll blame email; it deserves it anyway. Regardless, after witnessing the 2014 talk selection, I stand by my earlier assertion that it's a sight to behold. It warms my crooked old heart to watch people so excited about technology and the amicable interaction they have with the friendly developers.
Despite the setbacks, I did attend several chats on Wednesday, which is another departure from last year's format. In 2014, the selection process and every talk were constrained to one long Saturday and was very ad-ho
This nice photo was taken during this year's PgCon Developer Meeting. My family was surprised at how many other developers they have met over the years. A signed copy of the photo was sold for USD ~$500 at the conference's charity auction.
The meeting was very productive, and in fact the entire conference has been productive.

Functions are great. Having cut my teeth on a database that didn't even provide the ability to define functions, I've come to almost take them for granted in PGDB (PostgreSQL). However, with this kind of ubiquity, sometimes they can be overused in ways that don't seem to be part of the common programmer lexicon. In this week's PG Phriday series on performance-killing missteps, I'm going to talk a bit about set theory, and how a certain amount of familiarity is necessary to properly interact with a database.
One of the axioms of set theory states that f(x) = y, and x !~ y. That is, a function applied to some value produces a value that may not be equivalent to the original. Put another way, a spayed pet does not have the same reproductive capacity as a regular pet, and is thus not equal to the original. In the context of a database, this is extremely relevant because equivalence is what makes calculations and restrictions possible.
Given this, consider what a database index does. When creating an index, the database takes the value of one or more columns and essentially builds a pointer tree to quickly locate a record in ln time. This is much faster than reading every record in a table and applying a filter to remove unwanted records. That's something even novice developers tend to know. But they don't know how functions modify this scenario.
Given the very simplified introduction to set theory, applying a function to the column value means the database must discard equality. Remember: x !~ y. The database has indexed x, not y. So when a function is used in a WHERE clause, any index on x will be ignored. This makes perfect sense, considering there are an infinite number of possible functions, and the output of each is indeterminate. It's not possible to predict the end result of every possible function.
To further illustrate this, we'll reuse one of our tried-and-true examples:
CREATE TABLE sys_order ( order_id SERIAL NOT NULL, product_id INT NOT NULL, item_count INT
After seeing an email on pgsql-general about a user willing to be able to archive WAL from a standby to store them locally and to save bandwidth by only receiving the WAL segments through a WAL stream, let's talk about a new feature of Postgres 9.5 that will introduce exactly what this user was looking for, as known as being able to archive WAL from a standby to have more complicated archiving strategies. This feature has been introduced by this commit:
commit: ffd37740ee6fcd434416ec0c5461f7040e0a11de
author: Heikki Linnakangas <email@example.com>
date: Fri, 15 May 2015 18:55:24 +0300
Add archive_mode='always' option.
In 'always' mode, the standby independently archives all files it receives
from the primary.
Original patch by Fujii Masao, docs and review by me.
As mentioned in the commit message, setting archive_mode = 'always' will make a standby receiving WAL from a primary server archive the segments whose reception has been completed. While it can be interesting for even a set of nodes running on the same host to have each of them archive independently WAL segments on different partitions, this becomes more interesting when nodes are on separate hosts to be able for example to reduce the bandwidth usage as the bandwidth necessary to archive the WAL segments on the standby host is directly included in the WAL stream that a standby gets from its root node, saving resources at the same time.
Let's have a look at how this actually works with a simple set of nodes, one master and one standby running on the same host, listening respectively to ports 5432 and 5433 for example. Each node runs the following archiving configuration:
$ psql -At -c 'show archive_command' -p 5432
cp -i %p /path/to/archive/5432/%f.master
$ psql -At -c 'show archive_command' -p 5433
cp -i %p /path/to/archive/5432/%f.standby
$ psql -At -c 'show archive_mode' -p 5432
$ psql -At -c 'show archive_mode' -p 5433
So with that, both the standby and its primary node will archive their WAL segments once they are cons
and then I'll be able to doUPDATE blog_posts
SET subject_tags = subject_tags + 'my_new_subject'
WHERE post_id = 12345
It's also possible to do this, somewhat inefficiently, by using hstore or jsonb fields (in jsonb you'd just have a top level object). In both cases you would use dummy values - say make everything have a value of 1. But that's ugly, and error prone, and rather hackish.SELECT * FROM blog_posts
WHERE subject_tags ? 'some subject'
The draft Postgres 9.5 release notes are now online. This document will be adjusted regularly until the final release, which is expected later this year.
There are a lot of database engines out there. As such, a developer or DBA will naturally have varying levels of experience with each, and some of this might conflict with how PGDB (PostgreSQL) operates. These kinds of embedded misunderstandings can cause potential issues by themselves, but in this particular case, corrective action is fairly simple.
So this week, I'd like to talk about indexes. Many people treat
them as a "make query faster" button, and this often results in
egregious misuse. Indexes take space, require CPU resources to
maintain, and bring overhead that adversely affects
INSERT and
UPDATE performance. Most know
these drawbacks and generally acknowledge that too many indexes can
be detrimental. However, with some databases, even column order can
make a drastic difference. PGDB is among these.
To illustrate the point, let's make a simple test case of one-million records in an inventory tracking table of one thousand products over the course of about three years.
CREATE TABLE sys_inventory_snapshot ( product_id SERIAL NOT NULL, record_dt TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL, item_count INT NOT NULL, order_count INT NOT NULL ); INSERT INTO sys_inventory_snapshot ( product_id, item_count, order_count, record_dt ) SELECT b.id, a.id, a.id, now() - (a.id || 'd')::INTERVAL FROM generate_series(1, 1000) a(id), generate_series(1, 1000) b(id); ALTER TABLE sys_inventory_snapshot ADD CONSTRAINT pk_inventory_snapshot PRIMARY KEY (product_id, record_dt);
At first glance, this looks pretty good. If we want information based on date or product, it's right there. Things are even better if we have both values available! The query plan is also encouraging:
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM sys_inventory_snapshot WHERE record_dt >= CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '1 day'; QUERY PLAN -------------------------------------------------------------------- Bitmap Heap Scan ON sys_inventory_snap
As title suggests, if you are running Postgres in your environment, it is very important that you plan to upgrade Postgres with the latest announced release.
Yes, you should plan to upgrade again.
Postgres released data corruption and security bug fix release on May 22nd and follow up release on June 4th to fix some of the issue introduced in previous release. However, the June 4th release did not fix the multixact wraparound bugs (Thread1, Thread2 ) introduced in recent versions. The wraparound bug could cause problem starting Postgres after the crash , so it is critical to apply. The wraparound bug is more critical for 9.3 & 9.4 but it is very good idea to upgrade for other versions to make sure there isn't any problem. Read the release notes for the further details/explanation.
Special care should be taken regarding vacuuming , if you ever ran Postgres 9.3 version and used pg_upgrade for the production databases.
Yes, absolutely!! You are running EOL or unsupported version of Postgres. It is very important that you upgrade Postgre database to supported release because it is most likely to hit any or all of the security and/or data loss bugs fixed in recent Postgres releases.
Yes, you should upgrade to the latest minor release (3rd digit in version numbering). The minor release only requires installing new binaries and restart the database. It does _not_ require to use pg_dump/restore or pg_upgrade.
You should be upgrading to the following latest relevant Postgres release for your environment ASAP:
Postgres releases support can be found here. It is worth to note that , if you are running Postgres 9.0, you should plan for major version upgrade (most likely to latest Postgres 9.4.X release) before the holiday
When: 6-8pm Thursday June 18, 2015
Where: Iovation
Who: Mark Wong
What: Pg Performance
Come have a chat with our local performace expert, Mark Wong.
This presentation will take a look at the performance changes in the development version of PostgreSQL. A selection of features, some proposed and some already committed, are evaluated using synthetic open source workloads. One of the workloads used is the former OSDL's Database Test 3 that consists of business oriented ad-hob queries with concurrent data modification.
If you have a job posting or event you would like me to announce at the meeting, please send it along. The deadline for inclusion is 5pm the day before the meeting.
Our meeting will be held at Iovation, on the 32nd floor of the US Bancorp Tower at 111 SW 5th (5th & Oak). It's right on the Green & Yellow Max lines. Underground bike parking is available in the parking garage; outdoors all around the block in the usual spots. No bikes in the office, sorry!
Elevators open at 5:45 and building security closes access to the floor at 6:30.

Teresa Black, age 49 of Bellingham, passed away on July 12, 2014 at home surrounded by her family. She is survived by her husband Rick Black, children Clara, Noah and Amelia, parents Marvin and Marlyce Heidt, brother Andrew Heidt and many loving family and friends. An open Celebration of Teresa's life will be held at Westford's Broadway Hall, 1300 Broadway St. in Bellingham on Friday, July 25 at 6PM with a reception following. The dress is business/party casual, no black please. In lieu of flowers or gifts, contributions may be written to "Rick Black c/o Dr. Teresa Black Memorial Fund" and brought to the memorial or mailed to the Industrial Credit Union, PO Box 1767, Bellingham, WA 98227. You may share public memories with the family at
. Teresa grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. After graduating from the
University of Iowa
Medical School she and Rick moved to Seattle where she did her medical residency in Psychiatry at the
University of Washington
. In 2001 she and her young family fell in love with, and moved to Bellingham where Teresa eventually started Pacific Harbor Psychology and Psychiatry with her friends. She quit her practice when she was diagnosed with lung cancer to focus on her family and to fight her disease. She fought valiantly for two and a half years, far longer than anyone thought possible. She and Rick chose Bellingham to raise their children because they knew it was a special place. However, they could not have known how special of an environment their friends would create. The outpouring of support and generosity while Teresa was fighting her battle were beyond all expectations. Our family will be forever grateful for the positive energy, meals, dog walks, anonymous gifts, and "beaming" emails at her times of greatest need. Our outlook on life is forever lifted. Teresa was a caring psychiatrist, a devoted wife, and a generous friend. She met Rick on the first day of their senior year in college and died just three weeks shy of their 25th wedding anniversary. Teresa had the ability to do, or become anything during her life, she chose as her most important calling, to be a loving and supportive mother at which she excelled with unending dedication and energy. Teresa had an unusual combination of a brilliant mind without an ounce of competitiveness. She was an old and gentle soul who seldom had a harsh word. She was a natural and quiet teacher without trying, who could fill the room with her smile. Teresa's illness gave us an education we did not welcome, but one that made us all stronger. I hope we can all learn from her example and become more gentle and kind. Some lung cancer facts: - Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for men and women. Each year more people die from lung cancer than colon, breast, and prostrate cancers combined. - About 20% of the people that die from lung cancer are like Teresa and have never smoked. Other factors that increase ones' risk are second hand smoke, radon gas and genetics. - For most cases of lung cancer there are no symptoms until it is too late to be cured. Shortly after her diagnosis Teresa found solace in the quote "It's true that you gain your soul when you lose control" from the song 'Highway 7' by K-OS, an artist to whose music she loved to dance.
Rest in peace Teresa, we will never forget you or the lessons you have taught.

RaboDirect PRO12: Glasgow secure 20-14 victory over Ulster
Last Updated: 22/02/13 10:55pm
Tommy Seymour: One of four try-scorers for Glasgow
Glasgow teed-up an intriguing RaboDirect PRO12 run-in as they edged out leaders Ulster 20-14 to slash their advantage at the top of the table to just four points.
Gregor Townsend's men, fresh from last weekend's record-breaking 60-3 mauling of Newport-Gwent Dragons, completed their sixth successive league victory to ensure a thrilling climax to the league campaign.
Yet they flirted with disaster as stand-off Peter Horne missed all five of his goal attempts, including an embarrassing conversion effort late in the second half while stationed dead centre and just 15 yards from the posts.
However, tries from Tim Swinson, Tommy Seymour, Peter Murchie and Nikola Matawalu were enough to hold off a determined Ulster side who could only manage three successful penalties from Ruan Pienaar and Stuart Olding's second-half touchdown.
The victory thrilled a capacity 5,600-strong crowd that included Rangers manager Ally McCoist, but there were worried looks as the hosts' South African wing DTH van der Merwe was stretchered off wearing a neck brace and oxygen mask eight minutes into second half following a clash of heads.
Thankfully the early prognosis from Glasgow's medics was positive and his immediate withdrawal had only been precautionary.
Pienaar kicked Ulster into the lead with a penalty before Swinson claimed the opening try for Glasgow, swallow-diving over the line for his third score in two games after his double against Dragons.
Pienaar edged Ulster back into the lead with another penalty and the scores remained as such until two minutes before the break when Warriors scrum-half Matawalu robbed Pienaar as he waited for the ball to emerge from a scrum and handed over to right wing Seymour for a simple finish.
Just 31 seconds into the second half full-back Murchie chased down Paddy Wallace's kick five meters from his own try line and snaffled up the loose ball to extend Glasgow's lead to nine points.
Pienaar was able to add a third penalty of his own to bring the scores to 15-9 and they finally found their way over the tryline on 67 minutes as Olding made the most of an overload down the right to score in the corner.
Just as it looked set for a tense finish, however, Glasgow struck again as Matawalu collected a stunning offload by substitute Sean Kennedy just as he hit the deck to run in under the posts.
RaboDirect PRO12 2012/13 Round 16
Munster fall flat in Treviso
Treviso ran in five tries during a 34-10 RaboDirect Pro12 victory over Munster at Stadio di Monigo.
Zebre denied maiden Pro12 win
RaboDirect Pro 12 newcomers Zebre were denied a first victory of the season in a 14-13 defeat to the Dragons.
Leinster sink Scarlets
Leinster capped a comfortable 32-5 victory over the Scarlets with a try in injury time adding a vital bonus point.

Song, dance, tears for Mandela in South Africa
Many wore the traditional garb of the nation's Zulu, Xhosa and other ethnic groups.
"He will rule the universe with God," proclaimed a poster raised aloft by a mourner.
President Jacob Zuma announced a schedule of ceremonies expected to draw huge numbers of world dignitaries and ordinary mourners.
Mandela's body is to lie in state from Wednesday through Friday after a memorial service at the same Johannesburg stadium where he made his last public appearance in 2010 at the closing ceremony of the soccer World Cup. He is to be buried in his rural childhood village of Qunu on Dec. 15, after a state funeral.
"We call upon all our people to gather in halls, churches, mosques, temples, synagogues and in their homes for prayer services and meditation, reflecting on the life of Madiba and his contribution to our country and the world," Zuma said.
The White House said President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama would visit South Africa next week to participate in memorial events, though no precise dates were given.
Mandela was a "very human person" with a sense of humor who took interest in people around him, said F.W. de Klerk, South Africa's last apartheid-era president. The two men negotiated the end of apartheid, finding common cause in often tense circumstances, and shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
Summarizing Mandela's legacy, de Klerk paraphrased Mandela's own words: "Never and never again should there be in South Africa the suppression of anyone by another."
In Mandela's hometown of Qunu in the wide-open spaces of Eastern Cape province, residents consoled each other as they mourned the death of South Africa's most famous citizen.
On Vilakazi Street in Soweto, where Mandela lived as a young man, 26-year-old Vathiswa Nongogo brought her 3-year-old daughter Konwabo to soak in the celebratory atmosphere. The crowd was mostly black, but mourners both white and black said Mandela transcended race.
"The feeling is genuinely the same among the white people and the colors," said Nongogo, who is black. "And the political division doesn't appear to exist today."
The late leader's grandson, Mandla Mandela, said he was strengthened by the knowledge that his grandfather is finally at rest.
"All that I can do is thank God that I had a grandfather who loved and guided all of us in the family," Mandla Mandela said in a statement. "The best lesson that he taught all of us was the need for us to be prepared to be of service to our people."
Helen Zille, leader of South Africa's official opposition party, the Democratic Alliance, and premier of the Western Cape, the only province not controlled by the African National Congress party, agreed.
"We all belong to the South African family — and we owe that sense of belonging to Madiba. That is his legacy."
AP reporter Ray Faure contributed to this report.

"@edsheeran thanks," Bieber replied.
Sheeran later tweeted, "Makin' some mooooosick."
Guess we'll have to wait and see if the singers' exchange spawns new tunes.

In addition, a restaurant manager in Hollywood, Fla. told The Associated Press that FBI agents showed him a picture of two men suspected in the hijacking and that he remembered seeing them in his bar last Friday. Tony Amos said one of the men said his name was Mohamed and that he was a pilot for American Airlines.
In Maine, authorities impounded a blue Nissan Altima found at the Portland International Jetport that they believe provided the transportation for five suspected terrorists. Investigators suspect the car was driven to Bangor, Maine, where three of the suspected terrorists allegedly boarded a flight to Boston. Then, the other two suspects drove the car back to Portland and boarded a separate flight to Boston.The car is at the Maine State Crime Lab in Augusta.
Beginning to Understand
Investigators are beginning to understand how hijackers may have overpowered the flight crews and passengers to gain control of the doomed airplanes in what appears to have been a highly coordinated operation.
Once in the air, the hijackers of the Boston flights used box cutters and other knife-like weapons made of plastic handles embedded with razor blades to kill flight attendants — and lure a pilot from the cockpit, after which they were able to seize control of the plane, sources said.
One of the flight attendants on American Airlines Flight 11 was able to call authorities and give some details of the hijacking before the jet crashed into the World Trade Center. Along with the knife-like weapons, the flight attendant said the hijackers used cans of mace to immobilize business- and first-class passengers.
While searches are under way for survivors and suspects, the nation is struggling to resume some semblance of normalcy.
The Federal Aviation Administration will allow a limited reopening of the nation's commercial airspace system in order to allow flights that were diverted Tuesday to continue to their original destinations, Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta said today.
But the unprecedented nationwide ground-stop order for airports will continue at least through today while new security measures are being completed, he said. Those measures include a thorough search and security check of all airplanes and airports before passengers are allowed to board aircraft, and the end of curbside and off-airport check-in. Boarding areas will be reserved for passengers only, officials said, and only ticketed passengers will be allowed past airport screeners.
However, the more measures will be taken to ensure flight safety. Sources tell ABCNEWS that the federal government Thursday will announce plans to significantly increase uniformed police patrols at airports. A "check point" program that will place additional U.S. marshals, border patrol and customs agents at many airports will be implemented as soon as possible. Vehicles near airports also will be monitored more closely.
Meanwhile, Major League Baseball, which cancelled schedule games Tuesday, called off games for the second straight day. The National Football League is also considering cancelling games scheduled this weekend and Monday. And the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market and the American Stock Exchange will remain closed at least until Friday.
Was It Bin Laden?
Bin Laden has been indicted as the mastermind behind the 1998 attacks on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and quite possibly the deadly attack on the USS Cole last year. There is a $5 million price on his head.
He has denied responsibility for Tuesday's attacks, and a Pakistan-based newspaper quoted bin Laden as blaming "some American group."
According to Reuters, the Urdu-language Khabrain has a reputation for sensational reporting, and there was no independent confirmation of the claim. However, Afghanistan's ruling Taliban also denied that bin Laden was involved.
The FBI has set up a Web site (http://www.ifccfbi.gov) for those with information about the attacks.

35 year old woman | Philadelphia, PA, USA | Seeking men 30-45 within 45 miles of Newtown, PA
a ladder to heaven by which a dreamer's soul ascends to have an erotic tryst with a divine being who imparts fascinating secrets.
My name is Alisa, I grew up i the city of brotherly love. I spent many years traveling around and making friends in different places. Something I learned from that experiance was, this world is an amazing place filled with incredible individuals. I am completely touched and inspired with even things that seem ordinary however, the extraordinary is where I choose to revel. I respect people for where they are today and want to authentically support them in their fulfillment of dreams. Things I do or have done: `Taught organic gardening to inner city high school students `Ran a small scale bio-dinamic farm `worked with indigenous people to help them gain fair market value for their artisan works `currently attending the University of Pennsylvania `Event co-ordinatig and silent auction organization for non-profits `traveled in a van for 4 months with three of my best girl friends- went to every nation park in the USA `Traveled to many spanish speaking places- panama-belize-honduras and many others `constructed a six foot long chair out of willow `installed a veg kit into an old Mercedes so it could run on straight veg oil. `Hiked part of the appellation trail `went to burning man `Lived in colorado for 13 years `Got lost in the woods when I was 81/2 months pregnant and hiked 24 miles out. `most importantly had two amazing and delightful children (literally this is the best thing I have ever done in my life) Books I like to read- William Morris- A life for our time One hundred years of solitude Garbage land Naomi Klein Invisible cities Everything I want to do is illegal Food not lawns CS Lewis JR Tolken Rakima Bladwin This list could go on and on- point being,I like reading. I enjoy good films, usually the kinds played at theaters like the Ritz- films that are tasteful and thought provoking. I also enjoy biking. I have an old vintage road bike that I like riding in the woods through paths with covered bridges. I have an eye for beauty however, it isn't synonymous with most fashionable things these days. Most importantly, I cherish the people in my life. I have no superficial relationships. I have little interest for compulsions in dating, just being here is slightly out of character. I am okay doing things I am not used to doing. I see that as a form of growth. Something valuable that I learned thorough past experiences is that listening is the most valuable gift you can give your partner. All love stems from there I have been told in the past that I am cute, it's a little unnerving for a 33 year old mother however, recently I am coming to terms with it. SO... I am cute. I am small and I have giant passion which people have told me makes me as big as an amazonian. I work consistently to develop into a more whole and self aware person who finds no joy in over powering others. Please feel free to contact me if you feel we would be compatible.

UConn's Niels Giffey to represent Germany in 2013 EuroBasket
Aug 16, 2013, 3:10 PM EDT
In three seasons as a member of the UConn basketball program, 6-7 forward has held the same general role. Provide some versatility at the forward position, with his size allowing Giffey to handle responsibilities at both the three and the four for the Huskies.
But there's always the hunger to do more, and such is likely the case for Giffey (4.9 ppg, 3.6 rpg in 2012-13) given the fact that he's entering his senior season. The question: how much will Giffey's summer experience with the German national team help him when he returns to Storrs?
Giffey's averaged 7.5 points per game for Germany, which is playing scrimmages in preparation for the 2013 European Championships that begin on September 4. His best outing came against France's national team, which included pros Tony Parker and Nicolas Batum, as he scored 13 points in the scrimmage. With five more games to play ahead of the actual tournament, Giffey will have plenty of opportunities to hone his skills in game action before returning to the UConn program.
But roles within teams tend to be different, as we saw earlier this summer with former Villanova guard Mislav Brzoja. With UConn returning guards Shabazz Napier (17.1 ppg, 4.6 apg, Ryan Boatright (15.4, 4.4) and Omar Calhoun (11.1, 3.9 rpg), as well as sophomore forward DeAndre Daniels (12.1, 5.5 rpg), how much room is there for Giffey to score during his senior campaign?
Each of those four players finished the season with possession percentages of 20% or higher, with Boatright (24.5%) and Napier (24%) leading the way as expected (stat courtesy of kenpom.com). Giffey, by comparison, factored into just 13.7% of UConn's possessions in 2012-13, which despite being an improvement when compared to his percentage as a sophomore (12.2) is still nearly two percentage points lower than the number he posted on UConn's national title team (15.4).
Ultimately his summer experience with the German senior national team will benefit Giffey, but that won't necessarily mean drastically higher numbers in the scoring department in his senior season at UConn due to the role he plays.

Baseball Pick: Texas Rangers @ Detroit Tigers Game 5
- Updated: October 13, 2011
The Detroit Tigers are now facing three straight do or die games in the ALCS after losing in extra innings to the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night. Can they extend this series back to the Lone Star State in what could be their last home game of the season? Check out our MLB playoffs picks at Bang the Book!
Assuming that Texas does go on to win this series, Nelson Cruz is clearly the ALCS MVP. Not only did he blast the grand slam that won Game 2 at home for the Rangers, but he also hit the three run homer that ensured that they would win Game 4 on the road. Both homers, which accounted for two of his three long balls in this series, came in extra innings. Of course, the honorable mention for Wednesday night's hero was Mike Napoli, who had the RBI single that really started the four run rally in the top of the 11th inning. He also hung onto the ball at the plate in the 8th inning that prevented the Tigers from taking the lead, and he gunned down Austin Jackson on the base paths in the 9th inning as well. On Thursday, it'll be up to CJ Wilson to finish out this series. The ace of this staff really hasn't pitched that well in the playoffs. He hasn't lasted longer than five innings in either of his starts, and he has been bashed for a total of 10 runs. The southpaw also has a stunning six walks, though he has struck out six batters in both of his games.
The Tigers had their shots to level this series at two games apiece, but they just couldn't ultimately get the job done when push came to shove. Now, they're going to pay the price by likely losing this series, barring a bit of a miracle. The good news is that they do have their ace on the mound in Justin Verlander, but the bad news is that we have no idea whether he is truly, truly ready mentally to pitch this game. Verlander is clearly going to be the Cy Young Award winner, as he won 24 games in the regular season, three more than anyone in baseball and five more than anyone in the American League. That being said, he has had a disastrous postseason, most of which hasn't been his fault. He has been yanked out of two starts prematurely because of freaky rain delays, and the one start that he did have that went a full eight innings, he struggled against the New York Yankees and merely had to outlast CC Sabathia and the Bronx Bombers. That being said, he was also held out of Wednesday's Game 4 even though he probably could have gone on short rest, but we would have had to remember that that short rest would have been after just a four inning outing in Game 1.
Texas Rangers @ Detroit Tigers Game 5 Pick: As much as we would like to take Texas to close out this series, the bottom line is that Wilson hasn't been that great, and Verlander is typically a stud. There's no way in a regular situation that he would only be -150 at home against virtually anyone in baseball, so we really don't see why this should be an exception.
MLB Pick: Detroit Tigers -150 at Bookmaker Sportsbook.

text: Also, good on you for avoiding the victim mentality. I'm a firm believer that in racial matters one problem gives way to another and another and the cycle needs to stop somewhere. Problem is, everyone is waiting for the other to go first. But when you practice positive attitudes you are helping, little by little to turn the balance to the favor of sane thinking. And every little bit helps.
