Postgresql – List PostgreSQL extensions per database

postgresqlpostgresql-9.5postgresql-extensions

I have a Postgres 9.5 server with 30 databases.

I would like to find out which database uses which extension(s) in one go, preferably in a query that is usable in pgAdmin.

I know that SELECT * FROM pg_extension gives me the extensions for the database I am connected to.

I also know that SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions lists, well, all available extensions.

I also know that SELECT * FROM pg_database lists all existing databases.

Question

How can I create a list that includes the database name and the extensions used in each database?

Best Answer

You connect to each database in turn and query pg_extension.

Postgresql – Determine when a PostgreSQL database was last changed

While using select datname, xact_commit from pg_stat_database; as suggested by @Jack Douglas doesn't quite work (apparently due to autovacuum), select datname, tup_inserted, tup_updated, tup_deleted from pg_stat_database does appear to work. Both DML and DDL changes will change the values of tup_* columns while a vacuum does not (vacuum analyze on the other hand...).

In the off chance that this may be useful for others, I'm including the backup script that I've put in place. This works for Pg 8.4.x but not for 8.2.x-- YMMV depending on the version of Pg used.

=head1 Synopsis

pg_backup -- selectively backup a postgresql database cluster

=head1 Description

Perform backups (pg_dump*) of postgresql databases in a cluster on an
as needed basis.

For some database clusters, there may be databases that are:

 a. rarely updated/changed and therefore shouldn't require dumping as 
    often as those databases that are frequently changed/updated.

 b. are large enough that dumping them without need is undesirable.

The global data is always dumped without regard to whether any 
individual databses need backing up or not.

=head1 Usage

pg_backup [OPTION]...

General options:

  -F, --format=c|t|p    output file format for data dumps 
                          (custom, tar, plain text) (default is custom)
  -a, --all             backup (pg_dump) all databases in the cluster 
                          (default is to only pg_dump databases that have
                          changed since the last backup)
  --backup-dir          directory to place backup files in 
                          (default is ./backups)
  -v, --verbose         verbose mode
  --help                show this help, then exit

Connection options:

  -h, --host=HOSTNAME   database server host or socket directory
  -p, --port=PORT       database server port number
  -U, --username=NAME   connect as specified database user
  -d, --database=NAME   connect to database name for global data

=head1 Notes

This utility has been developed against PostgreSQL version 8.4.x. Older 
versions of PostgreSQL may not work.

`vacuum` does not appear to trigger a backup unless there is actually 
something to vacuum whereas `vacuum analyze` appears to always trigger a 
backup.

Postgresql – psql, getting a list of databases to be parsed by a script

I don't see how your two solutions are different... Since it still has to actually CONNECT to a database instance to see what databases are there, I'm willing to bet the only different is HOW you are connecting.

psql -l -A -t

psql --quiet --no-align --tuples-only --dbname=postgres --username=postgres --host=127.0.0.1 --port=5432 --command="SELECT datname FROM pg_database"

Try instead

psql -q -A -t -c "SELECT datname FROM pg_database"

This should use the default connection settings (database and login as local account, local connection, 5432 port). If you really need to, then specify the user and database with -U postgres -d postgres .. but otherwise just leave the host and port unspecified.

I'm willing to bet the only reason psql -l -A -t isn't asking for a password is because you have that information in your .pgpass file.
