Postgres statistics queries
** Find commmonly accessed tables and their use of indexes:
SELECT relname,seq_tup_read,idx_tup_fetch,cast(idx_tup_fetch AS numeric) / (idx_tup_fetch + seq_tup_read) AS idx_tup_pct FROM pg_stat_user_tables WHERE (idx_tup_fetch + seq_tup_read)>0 ORDER BY idx_tup_pct;
Returns output like:
relname | seq_tup_read | idx_tup_fetch | idx_tup_pct
----------------------+--------------+---------------+------------------------
schema_migrations | 817 | 0 | 0.00000000000000000000

Complete overview of the PHP SessionHandler life-cycle

This page provides a full overview of PHP's SessionHandler life-cycle - this was generated by a set of test-scripts, in order to provide an exact overview of when and what you can expect will be called in your custom SessionHandler implementation.

Each example is a separate script being run by a client with cookies enabled.

To the left, you can see the function being called in your script, and to the right, you can see the resulting calls being made to a custom session-handler registed using session_set_save_handler().

Purpose

Somewhat like dotenv but for PHP.

The goals is to remove all config scattered about in files and have one authoritative source for that config info.

PostgreSQL index naming convention to remember

The standard names for indexes in PostgreSQL are:

{tablename}_{columnname(s)}_{suffix}

where the suffix is one of the following:

  • pkey for a Primary Key constraint;
  • key for a Unique constraint;
  • excl for an Exclusion constraint;
  • idx for any other kind of index;

Webdriver PHP API workthough

  • Open a browser

    # start an instance of firefox with selenium-webdriver
    
    $browser_type = 'firefox'
    $host = 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub'
    

$capabilities = array(\WebDriverCapabilityType::BROWSER_NAME => $browser_type);
