背景

PostgreSQL大量的信息保存在元数据中，所有的元数据都是内部维护的，例如建表、建索引、删表等操作，自动维护元数据。

在某些迫不得已的情况下才可能需要直接对元数据进行修改。

默认情况下，用户是允许修改元数据的。

postgres=# \set VERBOSITY verbose  
  
postgres=# delete from pg_class where relname='test';  
ERROR:  42809: permission denied: "pg_class" is a system catalog  
LOCATION:  setTargetTable, parse_clause.c:802  

Greenplum 打开修改元数据开关的方法

postgres=# set allow_system_table_mods='DML';  
SET  
postgres=# begin;  
BEGIN  
postgres=# delete from pg_class where relname='test';  
DELETE 1  
postgres=# rollback;  
ROLLBACK  

PostgreSQL 打开修改元数据开关的方法

1、与Greenplum不同

postgres=# set allow_system_table_mods='DML';  
ERROR:  parameter "allow_system_table_mods" cannot be changed without restarting the server  

2、需要重启生效，配置为on, off。

postgres=# alter system set allow_system_table_mods=on;  
ALTER SYSTEM
