元命令

  1. 在PostgreSQL的命令行工具psql中,元命令是指以反斜线(\)开头的命令,它们允许用户更高效、便捷地管理数据库。(通过\?查看使用文档)
—————- 元命令 —————- 说明
\? 或 \help 当你不确定某个元命令的具体用法时,可以使用\?或\help命令来获取帮助信息
\l 或 \list 当你需要列出所有可用的数据库时,可以使用这个命令
\encoding 查看或设置字符集编码,这对于确保数据在不同字符集之间正确转换很重要
\password [username] 用于修改用户密码,这对于数据库的安全性至关重要
\x 以列显示的开关,执行一次为打开,再执行一次为关闭,这对于查看大量数据时调整显示方式很有用
\timing on/off 设置是否显示执行时长,这对于监控查询性能很有帮助
\set AUTOCOMMIT on/off 打开或关闭自动提交功能,这对于控制事务的提交很有用
\conninfo 显示连接信息,这对于诊断连接问题很有帮助
! [command] 执行shell命令,这对于需要与外部工具交互的情况很有用
\i filename 执行指定文件中的SQL语句,这对于批量执行SQL脚本很有用
\d 查看当前数据库下的所有表、视图和序列,这对于快速了解数据库结构很有用
\dt 只查看数据库中的所有表,这对于快速访问特定类型的数据库对象很有用
\du 查看数据库角色信息,这对于管理数据库角色很有用
\db 查看表空间列表,这对于管理数据库存储很有用
\gexec 将当前查询缓冲区发送到服务器,然后将查询输出(如果有的话)的每一行的每一列都要作为要执行的SQL语句处理,这对于自动化执行SQL语句很有用

连接数据库

  1. 使用 postgres 用户连接到本机 127.0.0.1 端口 5432 的 shoping 数据库。
$ psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -d shoping -W
  1. 使用字符串或URI连接。
$ psql "host=localhost user=postgres password=123456 port=5432 dbname=shoping"

$ psql postgresql://localhost:5432/shoping?user=postgres
—————- 连接元命令 —————- 说明
\c[onnect] {[DBNAME|- USER|- HOST|- PORT|-] | conninfo} 连接新数据库(当前为“postgres”)
\conninfo 显示当前连接信息
\encoding [ENCODING] 显示或设置客户端编码
\password [USERNAME] 安全修改用户密码

查看当前连接信息

  1. 成功建立连接之后,可以使用元命令\conninfo查看当前连接信息。
  2. 当你需要了解当前连接的详细信息,比如数据库名称、用户名、主机和端口等,可以使用这个命令。
postgres=# \conninfo
You are connected to database "shoping" as user "postgres" on host "localhost" (address "::1") at port "5432".

切换数据库连接

\c[onnect] {[DBNAME|- USER|- HOST|- PORT|-] | conninfo}
  1. 使用元命令\c可以重新连接数据库:

    • 连接到新的数据库。你可以指定数据库名称(DBNAME)、用户名(USER)、主机(HOST)、端口(PORT)或者使用conninfo参数显示当前连接信息。
    • 如果你想要连接到一个新的数据库,或者想要查看当前连接的详细信息,可以使用这个命令。
  2. 连接到默认数据库(这将连接到默认数据库)。

postgres=# \c
You are now connected to database "postgres" as user "postgres".
  1. 连接到特定数据库(这将连接到名为mydatabase的数据库)。
shoping=# \c postgres
You are now connected to database "postgres" as user "postgres".
  1. 切换用户 tony。
postgres=# \c - tony
Password for user tony:

查看/设置客户端编码

  1. 通过\encoding [ENCODING]命令可以查看或者设置客户端的编码格式。例如:
  2. 查看客户端编码:
postgres=# \encoding
UTF8
  1. 设置和护短编码:
postgres=# \encoding gbk
postgres=# \encoding
GBK

修改用户密码

  1. 使用\password [username]命令可以安全地修改指定用户的密码,默认为修改当前用户密码。例如:
postgres=# \password tony
Enter new password for user "tony": 
Enter it again:

  1. 直接查看某个具体 SQL 命令的语法帮助,例如:
postgres=# \h create index
Command:     CREATE INDEX
Description: define a new index
Syntax:
CREATE [ UNIQUE ] INDEX [ CONCURRENTLY ] [ [ IF NOT EXISTS ] name ] ON [ ONLY ] table_name [ USING method ]
    ( { column_name | ( expression ) } [ COLLATE collation ] [ opclass [ ( opclass_parameter = value [, ... ] ) ] ] [ ASC | DESC ] [ NULLS { FIRST | LAST } ] [, ...] )
    [ INCLUDE ( column_name [, ...] ) ]
    [ WITH ( storage_parameter [= value] [, ... ] ) ]
    [ TABLESPACE tablespace_name ]
    [ WHERE predicate ]

URL: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/sql-createindex.html

退出 psql 工具

  1. 退出 psql 终端的命令包括\q、\quit、quit以及exit。例如:
postgres=# \q
#

常用元命令

执行 SQL 语句

  1. psql 中的 SQL 命令以;或者\g结束,同时发送到服务端执行并返回结果。例如,以下查询返回了当前 PostgreSQL 数据库的版本:
postgres=# SELECT version();
                                                           version                                                           
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 PostgreSQL 14.4 (Debian 14.4-1.pgdg110+1) on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Debian 10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110, 64-bit
 (1 row)

保存查询结果

  1. 如果想要将查询结果直接保存到某个文件中,可以使用\g filename命令。例如:
    • 此时,数据库的版本信息被保存到了操作系统当前工作目录下的 result.txt 文件中。
    • \! command用于执行操作系统命令,这里使用 Linux 的 ls 命令查看文件列表。
postgres=# SELECT version() \g result.txt
postgres=#
postgres-# \! ls -al

(1 row)
  1. 另外,执行\o [ filename ]命令可以将之后的所有查询结果和命令返回信息保存到指定文件,默认为标准输出。例如:
    • 前两个 select 语句的结果打印到了 result.txt 文件中,然后又将查询结果定向为标准输出。
shoping=# \o result.txt
shoping=# select * from dept;
shoping=# select 1+1;
shoping=# \o
shoping=#
shoping=# \! cat result.txt
 department_id | department_name 
---------------+-----------------
            10 | Administration
            20 | Marketing
(2 rows)

 ?column? 
----------
        2
(1 row)
  1. 还有一个\copy …命令可以用于将表或者查询结果保存到指定文件中,或者从指定文件中读取内容到表中。例如:
shoping-# \copy dept to dept.txt
COPY 2
shoping-# 
shoping-# \! cat dept.txt
10      Administration
20      Marketing

\copy
  1. 导入数据到表中:
    • 其中,table_name是目标表的名称,file_path是数据文件的路径,delimiter是字段之间的分隔符。
COPY table_name FROM 'file_path' [DELIMITER 'delimiter']
  1. 导出数据到文件:
    • 这个命令将表中的数据导出到指定的文件路径。
COPY table_name TO 'file_path' [DELIMITER 'delimiter']
  1. 导入数据到表中(使用STDIN):
    • 这个命令从标准输入读取数据,并将其导入到表中。
COPY table_name FROM STDIN [DELIMITER 'delimiter']
  1. 导出数据到STDOUT:
    • 这个命令将表中的数据输出到标准输出。
COPY table_name TO STDOUT [DELIMITER 'delimiter']
  1. COPY命令支持的文件类型包括TXT、CSV、SQL、压缩文件和二进制格式。它适合批量导入数据,速度较快。需要注意的是,COPY命令只能用于表,不能用于视图。

重复执行语句

  1. \watch [SEC]命令可以用于每隔指定秒数(默认 2 秒)执行一次 SQL 语句。例如:
shoping=#  SELECT now() \watch 5
Sun 22 Sep 2024 11:23:05 PM CST (every 5s)

              now              
-------------------------------
 2024-09-22 15:23:05.777741+00
(1 row)


Sun 22 Sep 2024 11:23:10 PM CST (every 5s)

              now              
-------------------------------
 2024-09-22 15:23:10.789936+00
(1 row)

Sun 22 Sep 2024 11:23:15 PM CST (every 5s)

              now              
-------------------------------
 2024-09-22 15:23:15.797624+00
(1 row)

Sun 22 Sep 2024 11:23:20 PM CST (every 5s)

显示/清空查询缓冲区

  1. 输入\p命令可以显示当前缓冲区或者最近一次执行的命令:
shoping=# \p
select 1+1;
  1. 输入\r命令可以清空当前缓冲区中的内容:
shoping=# \r
Query buffer reset (cleared).

执行上一次命令

  1. 直接输入没有参数的\g命令表示再次执行查询缓冲区中的命令或者上一次执行的语句。例如:
shoping=# select * from dept;
 department_id | department_name 
---------------+-----------------
            10 | Administration
            20 | Marketing
(2 rows)

shoping=# \g
 department_id | department_name 
---------------+-----------------
            10 | Administration
            20 | Marketing
(2 rows)

查看/保存命令历史

  1. \s [ filename ]命令用于将历史命令保存到文件中,如果省略 filename 则显示到终端。例如:
shoping=# \s
\c
\du
CREATE ROLE admin CREATEDB CREATEROLE;
su
postgres
exit
CREATE ROLE admin CREATEDB CREATEROLE;
CREATE ROLE admin CREATEDB CREATEROLE;
\c
\c

显示语句执行时间

  1. \timing [ on | off ]命令可以用于显示或者关闭 SQL 语句的执行时间,单位为毫秒。例如:
    • 不指定参数的\timing命令可以在 on 和 off 之间切换。
shoping=# \timing on
Timing is on.
shoping=# select * from dept;
 department_id | department_name 
---------------+-----------------
            10 | Administration
            20 | Marketing
(2 rows)

Time: 0.655 ms
shoping=# \timing
Timing is off.

设置输出格式

  1. \pset [ option [ value ] ]命令可以用于显示或者设置与查询结果输出相关的选项。例如:(返回了当前的选项设置)
shoping=# \pset
border                   1
columns                  0
csv_fieldsep             ','
expanded                 off
fieldsep                 '|'
fieldsep_zero            off
footer                   on
format                   aligned
linestyle                ascii
null                     ''
numericlocale            off
pager                    1
pager_min_lines          0
recordsep                '\n'
recordsep_zero           off
tableattr                
title                    
tuples_only              off
unicode_border_linestyle single
unicode_column_linestyle single
unicode_header_linestyle single

执行脚本文件

  1. \i filename命令用于读取文件并执行其中的命令。在操作系统当前目录中创建一个脚本文件 test.sql,输入以下语句:

查看数据库对象信息

  1. psql 提供了大量用于查看数据库对象信息的元命令,绝大多数以 \d 开头。其中很多命令支持额外的 S 后缀,用于显示系统对象,否则只显示当前用户拥有访问权限的对象;或者额外的 + 后缀,用于显示额外的信息。

查看角色和用户

  1. \du[S+] [ pattern ]或者\dg[S+] [ pattern ]命令用于列出用户创建的角色、用户和组。例如:
  2. 如果指定了 S 选项,同时会显示系统创建的角色;如果指定了 + 选项,还会显示额外的描述信息;如果指定了 pattern,只有名称匹配指定模式的角色才会显示。
shoping=# \duS
