<para>
This section describes the <literal>intagg</literal> module which provides an integer aggregator and an enumerator.
The <filename>intagg</filename> module provides an integer aggregator and an
enumerator.
</para>
<sect2>
<title>Functions</title>
<para>
The aggregator is an aggregate function
<function>int_array_aggregate(integer)</>
that produces an integer array
containing exactly the integers it is fed.
Here is a not-tremendously-useful example:
</para>
<programlisting>
test=# select int_array_aggregate(i) from
test-# generate_series(1,10,2) i;
int_array_aggregate
---------------------
{1,3,5,7,9}
(1 row)
</programlisting>
<para>
Many database systems have the notion of a one to many table. Such a table usually sits between two indexed tables, as:
The enumerator is a function
<function>int_array_enum(integer[])</>
that returns <type>setof integer</>. It is essentially the reverse
operation of the aggregator: given an array of integers, expand it
into a set of rows. For example,
</para>
<programlisting>
test=# select * from int_array_enum(array[1,3,5,7,9]);
int_array_enum
----------------

5

<title>Sample Uses</title>
<para>
Many database systems have the notion of a one to many table. Such a table
usually sits between two indexed tables, for example:
</para>
<programlisting>
CREATE TABLE one_to_many(left INT, right INT) ;
CREATE TABLE left (id INT PRIMARY KEY, ...);
CREATE TABLE right (id INT PRIMARY KEY, ...);
CREATE TABLE one_to_many(left INT REFERENCES left, right INT REFERENCES right);
</programlisting>
<para>
And it is used like this:
It is typically used like this:
</para>
<programlisting>
SELECT right.* from right JOIN one_to_many ON (right.id = one_to_many.right)
WHERE one_to_many.left = item;
SELECT right.* from right JOIN one_to_many ON (right.id = one_to_many.right)
WHERE one_to_many.left = <replaceable>item</>;
</programlisting>
<para>
This will return all the items in the right hand table for an entry
This will return all the items in the right hand table for an entry
in the left hand table. This is a very common construct in SQL.
</para>
<para>
Now, this methodology can be cumbersome with a very large number of
entries in the one_to_many table. Depending on the order in which
data was entered, a join like this could result in an index scan
entries in the <structname>one_to_many</> table. Often,
a join like this would result in an index scan
and a fetch for each right hand entry in the table for a particular
left hand entry. If you have a very dynamic system, there is not much you
left hand entry. If you have a very dynamic system, there is not much you
can do. However, if you have some data which is fairly static, you can
create a summary table with the aggregator.
</para>
<programlisting>
CREATE TABLE summary as SELECT left, int_array_aggregate(right)
AS right FROM one_to_many GROUP BY left;
CREATE TABLE summary as
SELECT left, int_array_aggregate(right) AS right
FROM one_to_many
GROUP BY left;
</programlisting>
<para>
This will create a table with one row per left item, and an array
of right items. Now this is pretty useless without some way of using
the array, thats why there is an array enumerator.
the array; that's why there is an array enumerator. You can do
</para>
<programlisting>
SELECT left, int_array_enum(right) FROM summary WHERE left = item;
SELECT left, int_array_enum(right) FROM summary WHERE left = <replaceable>item</>;
</programlisting>
<para>
The above query using int_array_enum, produces the same results as:
The above query using <function>int_array_enum</> produces the same results
as
</para>
<programlisting>
SELECT left, right FROM one_to_many WHERE left = item;
SELECT left, right FROM one_to_many WHERE left = <replaceable>item</>;
</programlisting>
<para>
The difference is that the query against the summary table has to get
only one row from the table, where as the query against "one_to_many"
must index scan and fetch a row for each entry.
only one row from the table, whereas the direct query against
<structname>one_to_many</> must index scan and fetch a row for each entry.

On our system, an EXPLAIN shows a query with a cost of 8488 gets reduced
to a cost of 329. The query is a join between the one_to_many table,
On one system, an <command>EXPLAIN</> showed a query with a cost of 8488 was

<para>
This is an implementation of RD-tree data structure using GiST interface
of PostgreSQL. It has built-in lossy compression.
</para>
<para>
Current implementation provides index support for one-dimensional array of
integers: gist__int_ops, suitable for small and medium size of arrays (used by
default), and gist__intbig_ops for indexing large arrays (we use superimposed
signature with length of 4096 bits to represent sets). There is also a
non-default gin__int_ops for GIN indexes on integer arrays.
The <filename>intarray</> module provides a number of useful functions
and operators for manipulating one-dimensional arrays of integers.
There is also support for indexed searches using some of the operators.

<para>
The <literal>@@</> and <literal>~~</> operators test whether an array
satisfies a <firstterm>query</>, which is expressed as a value of a
specialized data type <type>query_int</>. A <firstterm>query</>
consists of integer values that are checked against the elements of
the array, possibly combined using the operators <literal>&amp;</>
(AND), <literal>|</> (OR), and <literal>!</> (NOT). Parentheses
can be used as needed. For example,
the query <literal>1&amp;(2|3)</> matches arrays that contain 1

<title>Index Support</title>
<para>
<filename>intarray</> provides index support for the
<literal>&amp;&amp;</>, <literal>@&gt;</>, <literal>&lt;@</>,
and <literal>@@</> operators, as well as regular array equality.
The implementation uses an RD-tree data structure with
built-in lossy compression.
</para>
<para>
Two GiST index operator classes are provided:
<literal>gist__int_ops</> (used by default) is suitable for
small and medium-size arrays, while
<literal>gist__intbig_ops</> uses a larger signature and is more
suitable for indexing large arrays.
</para>
<para>
There is also a non-default GIN operator class
<literal>gin__int_ops</>.
</para>
<para>
The choice between GiST and GIN indexing depends on the relative
performance characteristics of GiST and GIN, which are discussed elsewhere.
As a rule of thumb, a GIN index is faster to search than a GiST index, but
slower to build or update; so GIN is better suited for static data and GiST
for often-updated data.

<literal>Weak</literal> mode is used to be able to insert invalid data to
a table. Invalid as in the check digit being wrong, not missing numbers.
<firstterm>Weak</firstterm> mode is used to be able to insert invalid data
into a table. Invalid means the check digit is wrong, not that there are
missing numbers.
</para>
<para>
Why would you want to use the weak mode? Well, it could be that
you have a huge collection of ISBN numbers, and that there are so many of
them that for weird reasons some have the wrong check digit (perhaps the
numbers where scanned from a printed list and the OCR got the numbers wrong,
perhaps the numbers were manually captured... who knows.) Anyway, the thing
is you might want to clean the mess up, but you still want to be able to have
all the numbers in your database and maybe use an external tool to access
the invalid numbers in the database so you can verify the information and
validate it more easily; as selecting all the invalid numbers in the table.

<para>
When you insert invalid numbers in a table using the weak mode, the number
will be inserted with the corrected check digit, but it will be flagged
with an exclamation mark ('!') at the end (i.e. 0-11-000322-5!)
will be inserted with the corrected check digit, but it will be displayed
with an exclamation mark (<literal>!</>) at the end, for example
<literal>0-11-000322-5!</>. This invalid marker can be checked with
the <function>is_valid</> function and cleared with the
<function>make_valid</> function.
</para>
<para>
You can also force the insertion of invalid numbers even when not in the
weak mode, by appending the <literal>!</> character at the end of the
number.

You can also force the insertion of invalid numbers even not in the weak mode,

Another special feature is that during input, you can write
<literal>?</> in place of the check digit, and the correct check digit
will be inserted automatically.

<application>oid2name</> is a utility program that helps administrators to

<literal>oid2name</literal> connects to the database and extracts OID,

OIDs and tablespace OIDs.
</para>
<note>
<para>
When displaying specific tables, you can select which tables to show by
using -o, -f and -t. The first switch takes an OID, the second takes
a filenode, and the third takes a tablename (actually, it's a LIKE
pattern, so you can use things like "foo%"). Note that you can use as many
of these switches as you like, and the listing will include all objects
matched by any of the switches. Also note that these switches can only
show objects in the database given in -d.
The name <quote>oid2name</> is historical, and is actually rather
misleading, since most of the time when you use it, you will really
be concerned with tables' filenode numbers (which are the file names
visible in the database directories). Be sure you understand the
difference between table OIDs and table filenodes!

<para>
<literal>pgbench</literal> is a simple program to run a benchmark test.
<literal>pgbench</literal> is a client application of PostgreSQL and runs
with PostgreSQL only. It performs lots of small and simple transactions
including SELECT/UPDATE/INSERT operations then calculates number of
transactions successfully completed within a second (transactions
per second, tps). Targeting data includes a table with at least 100k
tuples.
<application>pgbench</application> is a simple program for running benchmark
tests on <productname>PostgreSQL</>. It runs the same sequence of SQL
commands over and over, possibly in multiple concurrent database sessions,
and then calculates the average transaction rate (transactions per second).
By default, <application>pgbench</application> tests a scenario that is
loosely based on TPC-B, involving five <command>SELECT</>,
<command>UPDATE</>, and <command>INSERT</> commands per transaction.
However, it is easy to test other cases by writing your own transaction
script files.
</para>
<para>
Example outputs from pgbench look like:
</para>
Typical output from pgbench looks like:
<programlisting>
number of clients: 4
number of transactions per client: 100
number of processed transactions: 400/400
tps = 19.875015(including connections establishing)
tps = 20.098827(excluding connections establishing)
transaction type: TPC-B (sort of)
scaling factor: 10
number of clients: 10
number of transactions per client: 1000
number of transactions actually processed: 10000/10000
tps = 85.184871 (including connections establishing)
tps = 85.296346 (excluding connections establishing)
</programlisting>
<para> Similar program called "JDBCBench" already exists, but it requires
Java that may not be available on every platform. Moreover some
people concerned about the overhead of Java that might lead
inaccurate results. So I decided to write in pure C, and named
it "pgbench."
</para>
<para>
Features of pgbench:
The first four lines just report some of the most important parameter
settings. The next line reports the number of transactions completed
and intended (the latter being just the product of number of clients
and number of transactions); these will be equal unless the run
failed before completion. The last two lines report the TPS rate,
figured with and without counting the time to start database sessions.
</para>

<para>
pgbench is written in C using libpq only. So it is very portable

<para>(optional)Initialize database by:</para>
<programlisting>
pgbench -i &lt;dbname&gt;
</programlisting>
<para>
where &lt;dbname&gt; is the name of database. pgbench uses four tables
accounts, branches, history and tellers. These tables will be
destroyed. Be very careful if you have tables having same
names. Default test data contains:
</para>
<programlisting>
table # of tuples
<para>
The default TPC-B-like transaction test requires specific tables to be
set up beforehand. <application>pgbench</> should be invoked with
the <literal>-i</> (initialize) option to create and populate these
tables. (When you are testing a custom script, you don't need this
step, but will instead need to do whatever setup your test needs.)
Initialization looks like:
<programlisting>
pgbench -i <optional> <replaceable>other-options</> </optional> <replaceable>dbname</>
</programlisting>
where <replaceable>dbname</> is the name of the already-created
database to test in. (You may also need <literal>-h</>,
<literal>-p</>, and/or <literal>-U</> options to specify how to
connect to the database server.)
</para>
<caution>
<para>
<literal>pgbench -i</> creates four tables <structname>accounts</>,
<structname>branches</>, <structname>history</>, and
<structname>tellers</>, destroying any existing tables of these names.
Be very careful to use another database if you have tables having these
names!
</para>
</caution>
<para>
At the default <quote>scale factor</> of 1, the tables initially
contain this many rows:
</para>
<programlisting>
table # of rows
-------------------------
branches 1
tellers 10
accounts 100000
history 0
</programlisting>
<para>
You can increase the number of tuples by using -s option. branches,
tellers and accounts tables are created with a fillfactor which is
set using -F option. See below.
</para>
</listitem>

You can (and, for most purposes, probably should) increase the number
of rows by using the <literal>-s</> (scale factor) option. The

<title>Script file</title>
<title>Custom Scripts</title>
<para>
<literal>pgbench</literal> has support for reading a transaction script
from a specified file (<literal>-f</literal> option). This file should
include SQL commands in each line. SQL command consists of multiple lines
are not supported. Empty lines and lines begging with "--" will be ignored.
<application>pgbench</application> has support for running custom
benchmark scenarios by replacing the default transaction script
(described above) with a transaction script read from a file
(<literal>-f</literal> option). In this case a <quote>transaction</>
counts as one execution of a script file. You can even specify
multiple scripts (multiple <literal>-f</literal> options), in which
case a random one of the scripts is chosen each time a client session
starts a new transaction.
</para>
<para>
Multiple <literal>-f</literal> options are allowed. In this case each
transaction is assigned randomly chosen script.
The format of a script file is one SQL command per line; multi-line
SQL commands are not supported. Empty lines and lines beginning with
<literal>--</> are ignored. Script file lines can also be
<quote>meta commands</>, which are interpreted by <application>pgbench</>
itself, as described below.
</para>
<para>
SQL commands can include "meta command" which begins with "\" (back
slash). A meta command takes some arguments separted by white
spaces. Currently following meta command is supported:
There is a simple variable-substitution facility for script files.
Variables can be set by the command-line <literal>-D</> option,
explained above, or by the meta commands explained below.
In addition to any variables preset by <literal>-D</> command-line options,
the variable <literal>scale</> is preset to the current scale factor.
Once set, a variable's
value can be inserted into a SQL command by writing
<literal>:</><replaceable>variablename</>. When running more than
one client session, each session has its own set of variables.
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<literal>\set name operand1 [ operator operand2 ]</literal>
- Sets the calculated value using "operand1" "operator"
"operand2" to variable "name". If "operator" and "operand2"

Example, TPC-B like benchmark can be defined as follows(scaling
factor = 1):
</para>
<programlisting>
As an example, the full definition of the built-in TPC-B-like
transaction is:
<programlisting>
\set nbranches :scale
\set ntellers 10 * :scale
\set naccounts 100000 * :scale
\setrandom aid 1 :naccounts
\setrandom bid 1 :nbranches
\setrandom tid 1 :ntellers
\setrandom delta 1 10000
BEGIN
UPDATE accounts SET abalance = abalance + :delta WHERE aid = :aid
SELECT abalance FROM accounts WHERE aid = :aid
UPDATE tellers SET tbalance = tbalance + :delta WHERE tid = :tid
UPDATE branches SET bbalance = bbalance + :delta WHERE bid = :bid
INSERT INTO history (tid, bid, aid, delta, mtime) VALUES (:tid, :bid, :aid, :delta, 'now')
END
</programlisting>
\setrandom delta -5000 5000
BEGIN;
UPDATE accounts SET abalance = abalance + :delta WHERE aid = :aid;
SELECT abalance FROM accounts WHERE aid = :aid;
UPDATE tellers SET tbalance = tbalance + :delta WHERE tid = :tid;
UPDATE branches SET bbalance = bbalance + :delta WHERE bid = :bid;
INSERT INTO history (tid, bid, aid, delta, mtime) VALUES (:tid, :bid, :aid, :delta, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);
END;
</programlisting>
This script allows each iteration of the transaction to reference
different, randomly-chosen rows. (This example also shows why it's
important for each client session to have its own variables &mdash;
otherwise they'd not be independently touching different rows.)
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Per-transaction logging</title>
<para>
If you want to automatically set the scaling factor from the number of
tuples in branches table, use -s option and shell command like this:
With the <literal>-l</> option, <application>pgbench</> writes the time
taken by each transaction to a logfile. The logfile will be named
<filename>pgbench_log.<replaceable>nnn</></filename>, where
<replaceable>nnn</> is the PID of the pgbench process.
The format of the log is:
<programlisting>
<replaceable>client_id</> <replaceable>transaction_no</> <replaceable>time</> <replaceable>file_no</> <replaceable>time_epoch</> <replaceable>time_us</>
</programlisting>
where <replaceable>time</> is the elapsed transaction time in microseconds,
<replaceable>file_no</> identifies which script file was used
(useful when multiple scripts were specified with <literal>-f</>),
and <replaceable>time_epoch</>/<replaceable>time_us</> are a
UNIX epoch format timestamp and an offset
in microseconds (suitable for creating a ISO 8601
timestamp with fractional seconds) showing when
the transaction completed.
</para>
<programlisting>
pgbench -s $(psql -At -c "SELECT count(*) FROM branches") -f tpc_b.sql
</programlisting>
<para>
Notice that -f option does not execute vacuum and clearing history
table before starting benchmark.
Here are example outputs:
<programlisting>
0 199 2241 0 1175850568 995598

<title>Good Practices</title>
<para>
It is very easy to use <application>pgbench</> to produce completely
meaningless numbers. Here are some guidelines to help you get useful
results.
</para>
<para>
In the first place, <emphasis>never</> believe any test that runs
for only a few seconds. Increase the <literal>-t</> setting enough
to make the run last at least a few minutes, so as to average out noise.
In some cases you could need hours to get numbers that are reproducible.
It's a good idea to try the test run a few times, to find out if your
numbers are reproducible or not.
</para>
<para>
For the default TPC-B-like test scenario, the initialization scale factor
(<literal>-s</>) should be at least as large as the largest number of
clients you intend to test (<literal>-c</>); else you'll mostly be
measuring update contention. There are only <literal>-s</> rows in
the <structname>branches</> table, and every transaction wants to
update one of them, so <literal>-c</> values in excess of <literal>-s</>
will undoubtedly result in lots of transactions blocked waiting for
other transactions.
</para>
<para>
The default test scenario is also quite sensitive to how long it's been
since the tables were initialized: accumulation of dead rows and dead space
in the tables changes the results. To understand the results you must keep
track of the total number of updates and when vacuuming happens. If
autovacuum is enabled it can result in unpredictable changes in measured
performance.
</para>
<para>
A limitation of <application>pgbench</> is that it can itself become
the bottleneck when trying to test a large number of client sessions.
This can be alleviated by running <application>pgbench</> on a different
machine from the database server, although low network latency will be
essential. It might even be useful to run several <application>pgbench</>
instances concurrently, on several client machines, against the same
database server.

Because the map is shared by all the databases, there will normally be

trying to join against <structname>pg_class</>, it's a good idea to
restrict the join to rows having <structfield>reldatabase</> equal to
the current database's OID or zero.

When either of the views is accessed, internal free space map locks are

<title>Trigram (or Trigraph)</title>
<para>
A trigram is a set of three consecutive characters taken

<title>Trigram (or Trigraph) Concepts</title>
<para>
eg. The set of trigrams in the word "cat" is " c", " ca",
"at " and "cat".
A trigram is a group of three consecutive characters taken
from a string. We can measure the similarity of two strings by
counting the number of trigrams they share. This simple idea
turns out to be very effective for measuring the similarity of
words in many natural languages.

<title>Public Index Operator Class</title>
<title>Index Support</title>
<para>
The <literal>pg_trgm</literal> module comes with the
<literal>gist_trgm_ops</literal> index operator class that allows a
developer to create an index over a text column for the purpose
of very fast similarity searches.
The <filename>pg_trgm</filename> module provides GiST and GIN index
operator classes that allow you to create an index over a text column for
the purpose of very fast similarity searches. These index types support
the <literal>%</> similarity operator (and no other operators, so you may
want a regular btree index too).
</para>
<para>
To use this index, the '%' operator must be used and an appropriate
similarity threshold for the application must be set. Example:
</para>
Example:
<programlisting>
CREATE TABLE test_trgm (t text);
CREATE INDEX trgm_idx ON test_trgm USING gist (t gist_trgm_ops);
</programlisting>
or
<programlisting>
CREATE INDEX trgm_idx ON test_trgm USING gin (t gin_trgm_ops);
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
At this point, you will have an index on the t text column that you
can use for similarity searching. Example:
At this point, you will have an index on the <structfield>t</> column that
you can use for similarity searching. A typical query is
</para>
<programlisting>
SELECT
t,
similarity(t, 'word') AS sml
FROM
test_trgm
WHERE
t % 'word'
ORDER BY
sml DESC, t;
SELECT t, similarity(t, '<replaceable>word</>') AS sml
FROM test_trgm
WHERE t % '<replaceable>word</>'
ORDER BY sml DESC, t;
</programlisting>
<para>
This will return all values in the text column that are sufficiently
similar to 'word', sorted from best match to worst. The index will
be used to make this a fast operation over very large data sets.
similar to <replaceable>word</>, sorted from best match to worst. The
index will be used to make this a fast operation even over very large data
sets.
</para>
<para>
The choice between GiST and GIN indexing depends on the relative
performance characteristics of GiST and GIN, which are discussed elsewhere.
As a rule of thumb, a GIN index is faster to search than a GiST index, but
slower to build or update; so GIN is better suited for static data and GiST
for often-updated data.

<title>Text Search Integration</title>
<para>
Trigram matching is a very useful tool when used in conjunction
with a full text index.
with a full text index. In particular it can help to recognize
misspelled input words that will not be matched directly by the
full text search mechanism.
</para>
<para>
The first step is to generate an auxiliary table containing all
the unique words in the documents:
</para>
<programlisting>
CREATE TABLE words AS SELECT word FROM
stat('SELECT to_tsvector(''simple'', bodytext) FROM documents');
CREATE TABLE words AS SELECT word FROM
ts_stat('SELECT to_tsvector(''simple'', bodytext) FROM documents');
</programlisting>
<para>
where <structname>documents</> is a table that has a text field
<structfield>bodytext</> that we wish to search. The use of the
<literal>simple</> configuration with the <function>to_tsvector</>
function, instead of just using the already
existing vector is to avoid creating a list of already stemmed
words. This way, only the original, unstemmed words are added
to the word list.
<structfield>bodytext</> that we wish to search. The reason for using
the <literal>simple</> configuration with the <function>to_tsvector</>
function, instead of using a language-specific configuration,
is that we want a list of the original (unstemmed) words.
</para>
<para>
Next, create a trigram index on the word column:
</para>
<programlisting>
CREATE INDEX words_idx ON words USING gist(word gist_trgm_ops);
</programlisting>
<para>
or
</para>
<programlisting>
CREATE INDEX words_idx ON words USING gin(word gist_trgm_ops);
CREATE INDEX words_idx ON words USING gin(word gin_trgm_ops);
</programlisting>
<para>
Now, a <literal>SELECT</literal> query similar to the example above can be
used to suggest spellings for misspelled words in user search terms. A
useful extra clause is to ensure that the similar words are also
of similar length to the misspelled word.
</para>
<para>
<note>
<para>
Since the <structname>words</> table has been generated as a separate,
static table, it will need to be periodically regenerated so that
it remains up to date with the document collection.
</para>
</note>
Now, a <command>SELECT</command> query similar to the previous example can
be used to suggest spellings for misspelled words in user search terms.
A useful extra test is to require that the selected words are also of
similar length to the misspelled word.
</para>
<note>
<para>
Since the <structname>words</> table has been generated as a separate,
static table, it will need to be periodically regenerated so that
it remains reasonably up-to-date with the document collection.
Keeping it exactly current is usually unnecessary.
