Row Counts of Tables in a SQL Schema and Database:  PostgreSQL vs. YugabyteDB

Row Counts of Tables in a SQL Schema and Database: PostgreSQL vs. YugabyteDB

Getting the total row counts of data in tables across various dimensions (per-table, per-schema, and in a given database) is a useful SQL technique to have in your toolkit. This blog post will guide you to obtain per-table row counts of all tables in PostgreSQL and YugabyteDB. This can serve as a first sanity check after migrating an application with pre-existing data from PostgreSQL to YugabyteDB.

This blog post also outlines how to get the following row counts broken down per table in a schema,

Using Envoy Proxy’s PostgreSQL & TCP Filters to Collect Yugabyte SQL Statistics

Using Envoy Proxy’s PostgreSQL & TCP Filters to Collect Yugabyte SQL Statistics

Layer 7 proxies like NGINX and HAProxy have been popular since the mid-2000s. The term “proxy” refers to their role as an intermediary for the traffic between an application client and an application server. The “layer 7” classification comes from the fact that these proxies take routing decisions based on URLs, IPs, TCP/UDP ports, cookies, or any information present in messages sent over a layer 7 (aka application layer) networking protocol like HTTP and gRPC.

Getting Started with Hasura GraphQL Remote JOINs on Multi-Cloud Distributed SQL

Getting Started with Hasura GraphQL Remote JOINs on Multi-Cloud Distributed SQL

Remote joins in Hasura GraphQL extend the concept of joining data across tables, to being able to join data across tables and remote data sources. In this blog post we are going to demonstrate this capability by configuring the following set up.

  • A 3 node YugabyteDB cluster running on GKE with a Hasura GraphQL Engine attached
  • A 3 node YugabyteDB cluster running on AKS with a Hasura GraphQL Engine attached
  • A Remote Schema and Remote Relationship configured
  • The ability to issue GraphQL queries that join data from two different databases,

Deploying a Real-Time Location App with Hasura GraphQL Engine and Distributed SQL

Deploying a Real-Time Location App with Hasura GraphQL Engine and Distributed SQL

Hasura is one of the leading vendors in the GraphQL ecosystem. They offer an open source engine that connects to your databases and microservices, and then auto-generates a production-ready GraphQL backend. GraphQL is a query language (more specifically a specification) for your API, and a server-side runtime for executing queries by using a type system you define for your data. GraphQL is often used for microservices, mobile apps, and as an alternative to REST.
