Infrequent psql

A collection of PostgreSQL queries I only use occasionally.

UUID extension

CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "uuid-ossp";

UUID generate

CREATE TABLE foo (
  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT uuid_generate_v4()
);

Table size

SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('foo'));

Tables by size

SELECT table_name,
       pg_relation_size(quote_ident(table_name)),
       pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(quote_ident(table_name)))
  FROM information_schema.tables
 WHERE table_schema = 'public'
 ORDER BY 2 DESC;

Active connections

SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE state = 'active' AND pid <> pg_backend_pid();

Kill connection

SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pid);
