Prepare a sample database
• EnterpriseDB provided you edbstore.sql file with the training material and this script file can be
installed in edbstore database.
• Here are the steps:
• Download edbstore.sql file and place in a directory which is accessible to postgres user. Make
sure file is also owned by postgres user.
• Create a database user edbstore in your existing cluster
• Create a edbstore database with ownership of edbstore user
• Login inside edbstore database using edbstore user and create edbstore schema
• Logoff from psql
• Run the psql command with –f option to execute edbstore.sql file and install all the sample
objects required in this training.

Architectural Summary
PostgreSQL architecture is simple process-per-user
• Each user connection has its own OS process
Distinct types of processes
• The postmaster
• Utility processes
• User backend processes

Process Architecture
http://www.conlinetraining.com/courses/postgre-sql-online-training/
Connect Request
Postmaster
• Is master process called postgres
• Listens on 1-and-only-1 tcp port
• Receives client connection request
Postmaster
Shared Memory
client
http://www.conlinetraining.com/courses/postgre-sql-online-training/
Backend Spawning
• Master Process postgres spawns a new server process for each
connection request detected
• Communication is done using semaphores and shared memory
• Authentication: IP, user and password
• Authorization: Verify Permissions
Postmaster
Shared Memory
Postgres work mem
BGWRITER STATS COLLECT
OR
WAL
WRITER
http://www.conlinetraining.com/courses/postgre-sql-online-training/
Respond to Client
• User backend process called postgres
• Callback to client
• Waits for SQL
• Query is transmitted using plain text
Postmaster
Shared Memory
postgres
work mem
client

Disk Read Buffering
• postgres backends
• One read I/O
• Many logical
reads from buffer cache
Shared (data) Buffers
Stable Database
postgres postgrespostgres
http://www.conlinetraining.com/courses/postgre-sql-online-training/
Writing Buffers
• Postgres user process
writes to the
shared_buffers area
• At commit, buffers
are marked committed
• Buffers written to disk
at checkpoint
Shared (data) Buffers
postgres postgrespostgres
CHECKPOINT
Stable Database
http://www.conlinetraining.com/courses/postgre-sql-online-training/
Writing Buffers
• bgwriter
• Dirty block cleanout
• Checkpoint signals bgwriter
Shared (data) Buffers
postgres postgrespostgres
BGWRITER
Stable Database
http://www.conlinetraining.com/courses/postgre-sql-online-training/
Commit & Checkpoint
Before Commit
• Uncommited updates are in memory
After Commit
• Committed updates written from shared memory to disk (write-ahead
log file)
After Checkpoint
• Modified data pages are written from shared memory to the data files
