Just shoot

Read a good reminder the other day, wish I could remember where the reminder came from, about shooting every day. Just pick up the camera and shoot. Shoot anything just do it. So I picked up the camera last night, set the ISO to 1600, and started playing. I had forgotten how good the images with the 20D are even when shot at that high of an ISO. Yeah, they have a little noise/grain to them but it's not that bad.

Database, schema, and table sizes in Greenplum

Show running queries on Postgresql/Greenplum

I've got some queries that run for a long time. Sometimes longer than others. I wanted to see how long active queries have been running. Here's a view to consistently do that: CREATE VIEW public.view_activequeries AS ( SELECT age(query_start, backend_start) AS queryage,* FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE current_query NOT LIKE '%IDLE%' ORDER BY queryage DESC); Then you just run: select * from public.view_activequeries; You get a list of all active queries in descending order of how long they have been running, i.e. longest running queries listed first.

Greenplum update with multiple tables

Recently ran into an issue using Greenplum to update a column. I had column1 in tableA that needed to be set to the value of column1 in tableB. Finally came across the correct syntax here . This is what I was looking for: UPDATE tableA  SET col1 = tableB.col1  FROM tableB  WHERE tableA.col2=tableB.col2;
