【RDS PostgreSQL】查找最耗费资源的 SQL(Top SQL)

执行如下命令,在需要查询 TOP SQL 的数据库中,创建 pg_stat_statements 插件。

CREATE EXTENSION pg_stat_statements;


pg_stat_statements 输出内容介绍

通过查询 pg_stat_statements 视图,您可以得到数据库资源开销的统计信息。SQL 语句中的一些过滤条件在 pg_stat_statements 中会被替换成变量,可以减少重复显示的问题。

pg_stat_statements 视图包含了一些重要信息,例如:

  • SQL 的调用次数,总耗时,最快执行时间,最慢执行时间,平均执行时间,执行时间的方差(看出抖动),总共扫描、返回或处理了多少行。
  • shared buffer 的使用情况:命中、未命中、产生脏块、驱逐脏块。
  • local buffer 的使用情况:命中、未命中、产生脏块、驱逐脏块。
  • temp buffer 的使用情况:读了多少脏块、驱逐脏块。
  • 数据块的读写时间。


下表列出了 pg_stat_statements 输出内容中各参数的含义。

参数名称 类型 参考 说明
userid oid pg_authid.oid OID of user who executed the statement.
dbid oid pg_database.oid OID of database in which the statement was executed.
queryid bigint Internal hash code, computed from the statement’s parse tree.
query text Text of a representative statement.
calls bigint Number of times executed.
total_time double precision Total time spent in the statement, in milliseconds.
min_time double precision Minimum time spent in the statement, in milliseconds.
max_time double precision Maximum time spent in the statement, in milliseconds.
mean_time double precision Mean time spent in the statement, in milliseconds.
stddev_time double precision Population standard deviation of time spent in the statement, in milliseconds.
rows bigint Total number of rows retrieved or affected by the statement.
shared_blks_hit bigint Total number of shared block cache hits by the statement.
shared_blks_read bigint Total number of shared blocks read by the statement.
shared_blks_dirtied bigint Total number of shared blocks dirtied by the statement.
shared_blks_written bigint Total number of shared blocks written by the statement.
local_blks_hit bigint Total number of local block cache hits by the statement.
local_blks_read bigint Total number of local blocks read by the statement.
local_blks_dirtied bigint Total number of local blocks dirtied by the statement.
local_blks_written bigint Total number of local blocks written by the statement.
temp_blks_read bigint Total number of temp blocks read by the statement.
temp_blks_written bigint Total number of temp blocks written by the statement.
blk_read_time double precision Total time the statement spent reading blocks, in milliseconds (if track_io_timing is enabled, otherwise zero).
blk_write_time double precision Total time the statement spent writing blocks, in milliseconds (if track_io_timing is enabled, otherwise zero).


分析 TOP SQL

  • 最耗 IO SQL
    • 执行如下命令,查询单次调用最耗 IO SQL TOP 5。
SELECT userid::regrole, dbid, query FROM pg_stat_statements ORDER BY (blk_read_time+blk_write_time)/calls DESC LIMIT 5;
    • 执行如下命令,查询总最耗 IO SQL TOP 5。
SELECT userid::regrole, dbid, query FROM pg_stat_statements ORDER BY (blk_read_time+blk_write_time) DESC LIMIT 5;


  • 最耗时 SQL
    • 执行如下命令,查询单次调用最耗时 SQL TOP 5。
SELECT userid::regrole, dbid, query FROM pg_stat_statements ORDER BY mean_time DESC LIMIT 5;
    • 执行如下命令,查询总最耗时 SQL TOP 5。
SELECT userid::regrole, dbid, query FROM pg_stat_statements ORDER BY total_time DESC LIMIT 5;


  • 响应时间抖动最严重 SQL执行如下命令,查询响应时间抖动最严重 SQL。
SELECT userid::regrole, dbid, query FROM pg_stat_statements ORDER BY stddev_time DESC LIMIT 5;


  • 最耗共享内存 SQL执行如下命令,查询最耗共享内存 SQL。
SELECT userid::regrole, dbid, query FROM pg_stat_statements ORDER BY (shared_blks_hit+shared_blks_dirtied) DESC LIMIT 5;


  • 最耗临时空间 SQL执行如下命令,查询最耗临时空间 SQL。
SELECT userid::regrole, dbid, query FROM pg_stat_statements ORDER BY temp_blks_written DESC LIMIT 5;


重置统计信息

pg_stat_statements是累积的统计,如果要查看某个时间段的统计,需要查询快照的信息,详情请参见《PostgreSQL AWR报告(for 阿里云ApsaraDB PgSQL)》

您也可以通过执行如下命令,来定期清理历史统计信息。

SELECT pg_stat_statements_reset();
