Note: The following description applies both to Postgres-XC and PostgreSQL if not described explicitly.

adminpack provides a number of support functions which pgAdmin and other administration and management tools can use to provide additional functionality, such as remote management of server log files.

E.1.1. Functions Implemented

Note: The following description applies both to Postgres-XC and PostgreSQL if not described explicitly.

The functions implemented by adminpack can only be run by a superuser. Here's a list of these functions:

int8 pg_catalog.pg_file_write(fname text, data text, append bool)
bool pg_catalog.pg_file_rename(oldname text, newname text, archivename text)
bool pg_catalog.pg_file_rename(oldname text, newname text)
bool pg_catalog.pg_file_unlink(fname text)
setof record pg_catalog.pg_logdir_ls()

/* Renaming of existing backend functions for pgAdmin compatibility */
int8 pg_catalog.pg_file_read(fname text, data text, append bool)
bigint pg_catalog.pg_file_length(text)
int4 pg_catalog.pg_logfile_rotate()

Note: Functions of this module run only on the coordinator you're connecting.
