Installing on Debian

====================

Install and create new user and database::

  $ sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-client

  $ sudo su - postgres

  % psql

  postgres=# CREATE USER myuser WITH PASSWORD 'mypass';

  postgres=# CREATE DATABASE mydb OWNER myuser;

  postgres=# \q

Connect as user ``mypguser`` to new database::

  $ su - mypguser

  $ psql mypgdatabase

In order to create local host superuser::

  $ sudo su - postgres

  $ createuser --superuser USER

  $ exit

  $ sudo -u USER psql

..

https://wiki.debian.org/PostgreSql

  Debian wiki instructions.

Check version

=============

By SQL query::

  SELECT version();

  SHOW server_version;

  SHOW server_version_num;

From executable::

  $ postgres -V

Check locations

===============

::

  SHOW hba_file;

  SHOW config_file;

Check settings

==============

::

   SELECT name, setting FROM pg_settings;

   SELECT name, current_setting(name), source FROM pg_settings;

Check extensions

================

::

   SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions;

Set application name

====================

``application_name`` is displayed in ``pg_stat_activity.application_name``.

It can help identify clients of DB. To alter it in current session::

  SET application_name = 'some name';

To show current value::

  SHOW application_name;

Limitations

===========

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/TOAST

  TOAST is a mechanism PostgreSQL uses to keep physical data rows from exceeding the size of a data

  block (typically 8KB).

List privileges

===============

List databases with privileges::

  \l

List schemas with privileges::

  \dn+

List users with privileges::

  \du

List privileges to objects (tables, views, sequences)::

  \dp

  SELECT * FROM information_schema.role_table_grants

  WHERE table_name = 'table_name';

List default privileges::

  \ddp

  SELECT * FROM pg_default_acl;

Grant role options

==================

Show role options and group membership::

  \du

Grant role options::

  ALTER USER me WITH SUPERUSER;

  ALTER USER me WITH CREATEDB CREATEROLE LOGIN;

Revoke role options::

  ALTER USER me WITH NOSUPERUSER;

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createrole.html

  ``CREATE ROLE``.

Granting selects::

  GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO ro_user;

  GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO rw_user;

  GRANT USAGE ON ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA public TO rw_user;

Making read-only role::

  GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE mydb TO ro;

  GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA myschema TO ro;

  GRANT SELECT ON TABLE myschema.myt1, myschema.myt2 TO ro;

Granting default privileges for new objects::

  ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA myschema GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON TABLES TO rw_user;

  ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA myschema GRANT ALL ON SEQUENCES TO rw_user;

  ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA myschema GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTIONS TO rw_user;

Revoke privileges and drop role

===============================

List roles::

  SELECT * FROM pg_roles;

  SELECT oid, rolname FROM pg_roles

  WHERE pg_has_role('xuser', oid, 'member');

Revoke privileges::

  REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE mydb FROM xuser;

  REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON SCHEMA myschem FROM xuser;

  REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA myschem FROM xuser;

  REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA myschem FROM xuser;

  do $$

  DECLARE r record;

  begin

      for r in select * from pg_views where schemaname = 'myschem'

      loop

        execute 'revoke all on ' || quote_ident(r.schemaname) ||'.'|| quote_ident(r.viewname) || ' from "xuser"';

      end loop;

  end $$;

To forbid any operations (read/write) without dealing with individual privileges (any pending user

transactions will fail!)::

  REVOKE USAGE ON SCHEMA myschem FROM xuser;

To forbid connection remove privilege from ``public`` role as it inherited by all users and then from user::

  REVOKE CONNECT ON DATABASE mydb FROM public;

  REVOKE CONNECT ON DATABASE mydb FROM xuser;

Role can't be dropped until it owns objects, need to reassign owner::

  REASSIGN OWNED BY xuser TO myuser;

Some objects may left behind role (like default privileges), they can be dropped via::

  DROP OWNED BY xuser;

Remove role::

  DROP ROLE xuser;

Change password

===============

::

   ALTER USER me WITH PASSWORD 'PassWord';

Monitor connections

===================

Current user::

  SELECT current_user;

  SELECT session_user;

Active sessions and queries::

  select * from pg_stat_activity;

  select * from pg_stat_activity

  order by usename;
