Thanks for responding.
This will be a stored procedure written in plpgsql that's kicked off by pg_cron.
I wasn't sure a normal smart shutdown would stop it.

shutdown try to cancel any query. The plpgsql routine should be canceled without problems.
fast mode will have this effect. smart mode not, from my testing. The running queries do not get interrupted in smart shutdown.

ok

but you can set timeout there. It doesn't help?

You can create some aux postgresql connection with specific app name, and then you can monitor if this process still live from pg_stat_activity

one process

connect
set application_name to 'xxxx';

second process
if not exists(select * from pg_stat_activity where appname = 'xxxx') then
  exit
end if;


sorry - it cannot to help too

probably only one solution can be to write some extension and read some internal state

One idea was to have a process reading the log for " received smart shutdown request " and then send a 

NOTIFY shutdown_channel, 'shutdown in progress'

The question I have not yet answered is how to get the asynchronous notification from within plpgsql. I mean this is possible with python or Go or Java / JDBC or some other programming language , but cannot seem to find anything in plpgsql .

 

 

 

Thanks

My project's DB has a mutli-step stored procedure using Transaction Control that may take 30 minutes or more to complete.
I am curious if there is a way to make it more smart shutdown friendly so it can stop between steps?

We are using both PG 14 and PG 16 on Rhel 8.
Pardon me if it's obvious but is there a function to call or a table that could be checked after a commit within the procedure to determine a shutdown is pending?

Maybe somehow checking the log for a message like :

received smart shutdown request

Or use tail_n_mail against the log and then implement some logic using NOTIFY , ideally you want your procedure to be interrupted rather than do polling.


Thanks,
Dennis
