环境介绍：
OS：Centos 6.4 64bit
Database：Postgresql9.4
Memory：2G
cpu：1核
下载安装：
在pgfoundry下载pgfincore-v1.1.1.tar.gz，，将源码解压到数据库源码下的contrib下。不要在其github上下载，目前应该有一些bug，最新版本为1.1.1，1.1.2在我试用的时候发现大部分函数无法使用。
其次在我编译时一直出现如下错误：
[postgres@localhost pgfincore-1.1.1]$ make /bin/sh: pg_config: command not found make: pg_config: Command not found cp pgfincore.sql pgfincore--1.1.1.sql cp: cannot create regular file `pgfincore--1.1.1.sql': Permission denied make: *** [pgfincore--1.1.1.sql] Error 1所以在此我修改了一下Makefile文件，内容如下：
# contrib/pgfincore/Makefile MODULE_big = pgfincore OBJS = pgfincore.o EXTENSION = pgfincore DATA = pgfincore--1.1.1.sql pgfincore--unpackaged--1.1.1.sql ifdef USE_PGXS PG_CONFIG = pg_config PGXS := $(shell $(PG_CONFIG) --pgxs) include $(PGXS) else subdir = contrib/pgfincore top_builddir = ../.. include $(top_builddir)/src/Makefile.global include $(top_srcdir)/contrib/contrib-global.mk现在进行make，即可：
[postgres@localhost pgfincore-1.1.1]$ make gcc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -g -O2 -fpic -I. -I. -I../../src/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -c -o pgfincore.o pgfincore.c pgfincore.c: In function ‘pgsysconf’: pgfincore.c:227: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘heap_form_tuple’ pgfincore.c:227: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast pgfincore.c: In function ‘pgfadvise’: pgfincore.c:477: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast pgfincore.c: In function ‘pgfadvise_loader’: pgfincore.c:710: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast pgfincore.c: In function ‘pgfincore’: pgfincore.c:1016: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast gcc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -g -O2 -fpic -shared -o pgfincore.so pgfincore.o -L../../src/port -L../../src/common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-rpath,'/opt/hg3.0/lib',--enable-new-dtags [postgres@localhost pgfincore-1.1.1]$ make install /bin/mkdir -p '/opt/hg3.0/lib/postgresql' /bin/mkdir -p '/opt/hg3.0/share/postgresql/extension' /bin/mkdir -p '/opt/hg3.0/share/postgresql/extension' /usr/bin/install -c -m 755 pgfincore.so '/opt/hg3.0/lib/postgresql/pgfincore.so' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 pgfincore.control '/opt/hg3.0/share/postgresql/extension/' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 pgfincore--1.1.1.sql pgfincore--unpackaged--1.1.1.sql '/opt/hg3.0/share/postgresql/extension/' [postgres@localhost pgfincore-1.1.1]$实验记录：
1、安装：
[postgres@localhost bin]$ ./psql psql (9.4.5) Type "help" for help. postgres=# create extension pgfincore ; CREATE EXTENSION postgres=# select * from pg_extension ; extname | extowner | extnamespace | extrelocatable | extversion | extconfig | extcondition -----------+----------+--------------+----------------+------------+-----------+ -------------- plpgsql | 10 | 11 | f | 1.0 | | pgfincore | 10 | 2200 | t | 1.1.1 | | (2 rows) postgres=#
2、准备工作：记录比较使用pgfincore前后的性能差，使用插件pg_stat_statments记录每条sql的使用时间。
其次将shared_buffer改为16mb，减少其对pgfincore的影响。
postgres=# create extension pg_stat_statements ;
CREATE EXTENSION
postgres=# select * from pg_extension ;
extname | extowner | extnamespace | extrelocatable | extversion | ex
tconfig | extcondition
--------------------+----------+--------------+----------------+------------+---
--------+--------------
plpgsql | 10 | 11 | f | 1.0 |
|
pgfincore | 10 | 2200 | t | 1.1.1 |
|
pg_stat_statements | 10 | 2200 | t | 1.2 |
|
(3 rows)
3、建立表testmem，分别在使用和不适用pgfincore情况下进行select,update,delete的操作，并对比执行时间，在这里为了更好的去作比较，建立三张表testmem1，testmem2，testmem3，分别进行三种操作进行对比。并插入相同的数据。
[postgres@localhost bin]$ ./psql psql (9.4.5) Type "help" for help. postgres=# \d No relations found. postgres=# create table testmem1(t1 int,t2 text,t3 text,t4 bigint,t5 text,t6 text,t7 varchar,t8 char(22),t9 numeric);CREATE TABLE postgres=# create table testmem2(t1 int,t9 numeric); CREATE TABLE postgres=# create table testmem3(t1 int,t9 numeric); CREATE TABLE postgres=# insert into testmem1 select generate_series(1,999999),'wangshuo'||generate_series(1,999999)::text||random()::text,generate_series(1,999999)::text||'sure',random()::text,'liuyuanyuan',999999); INSERT 0 999999 postgres=# select pg_relation_size('testmem1')/1024/1024||'MB'; ?column? ---------- 166MB (1 row) postgres=# insert into testmem2 select generate_series(1,999999); INSERT 0 999999 postgres=# insert into testmem3 select generate_series(1,999999); INSERT 0 999999 postgres=# select pg_relation_size('testmem2')/1024/1024||'MB'; ?column? ---------- 166MB (1 row) postgres=# select pg_relation_size('testmem3')/1024/1024||'MB'; ?column? ---------- 166MB (1 row) postgres=#
三种操作性能对比：
postgres=# select * from testmem1 where t1 < 789432 and t1 > 1208;
t1 | t2 | t3 | t4 | t5
| t6 | t7 | t8
| t9

postgres=# update testmem2 set t7 = random()::text where t1 < 789432 and t1 > 1208;
UPDATE 788223
postgres=# delete from testmem3 where t1 < 789432 and t1 > 1208;
DELETE 788223
使用pgfincore前：通过查询表pg_stat_statments查看三种操作时间：
postgres=# SELECT query,calls,total_time,rows,100.0 * shared_blks_hit /
nullif(shared_blks_hit + shared_blks_read,0) AS hit_percent
FROM pg_stat_statements ORDER BY total_time DESC;

calls | 1
total_time | 2397.866
rows | 788223
hit_percent | 0.15039714245429336843
使用pgfincore后：通过查询表pg_stat_statments查看三种操作时间（重启机器后，重新建库，重新建表、插数据）：
SELECT query,100.0 * shared_blks_hit /
nullif(shared_blks_hit + shared_blks_read,0) AS hit_percent
FROM pg_stat_statements ORDER BY total_time DESC;
-[ RECORD 1 ]------------------------------------------------------

total_time | 6800.237

明显看出当执行select时速度提升明显，其他的时间提升并不明显，这是因为数据还需要进行IO操作，所以在这里速度提升应该仅仅是读入的时间节省掉了。

postgres=# 上面这个实验验证了willneed会将小部分新加入的数据加载到cache中，能够快速的定位查找，但是当插入数据量较大时，就不会及时的写入到cache中了。
总结：pgfincore目前适用于数据量非常大、更新不频繁、更新量较小的表去加载到缓存中，有助于提高应用效率。
1、pgsysconf：
这个函数输出OS block的大小（os_page_size），OS中剩余的page数(os_pages_free)和OS拥有的page总数(os_total_pages)。
postgres=# select * from pgsysconf()；
os_page_size | os_pages_free | os_total_pages
--------------+---------------+----------------
4096 | 167445 | 476688
(1 row) 2、pgsysconf_pretty：
这个函数和上面的一样，仅仅是输出更易懂些。
postgres=# select * from pgsysconf_pretty(); os_page_size | os_pages_free | os_total_pages --------------+---------------+---------------- 4096 bytes | 654 MB | 1862 MB (1 row)
3、pgfadvise_willneed：
这个函数是
输出文件名（relpath），OS block大小（os_page_size），对象占用系统page数（rel_os_pages）,OS剩余的page数（os_pages_free）。
postgres=# select * from pgfadvise_willneed('testmem1');
relpath | os_page_size | rel_os_pages | os_pages_free
------------------+--------------+--------------+---------------
base/13003/16384 | 4096 | 42554 | 167294
(1 row) 4、pgfadvise_dontneed：
这个函数对当前对象设置dontneed标记。dontneed标记的意思就是当操作系统需要释放内存时优先释放标记为dontneed的pages。输出的意义和上面一致，就不多做介绍了。
postgres=# select * from pgfadvise_dontneed('testmem1');
relpath | os_page_size | rel_os_pages | os_pages_free
------------------+--------------+--------------+---------------
base/13003/16384 | 4096 | 42554 | 332798
(1 row) 5、pgfadvise_NORMAL、pgfadvise_SEQUENTIAL、pgfadvise_RANDOM：
和pgfadvise_dontneed大同小异，分别将对象标记为normal、sequential、random，意思按照字面意思理解就可以了。
其实pgfadvise是一个单独的函数，参数是relname,fork,action,含义分别为对象名、文件分支名以及行为id，上面的3、4、5函数都是输入不同参数而设置的函数，其中willneed、dontneed、normal、sequential、random的值分别是10、20、30、40、50，且默认fork为main，即表文件。
这里的pgfadvise主要调用了Linux下的函数posix_fadvise，标记值也是posix_fadvise所需要的。
6、pgfincore：
这个函数是是提供对象在操作系统缓存中的信息的。
它分为三个函数，参数分别为（relname,getdatabit），（relname,getdatabit），（relname），三个参数意思为对象名，进程名（这个地方默认是main），是否要显示databit（很长，注意显示），第一个函数需要全部输入，第二个函数默认fork为main，第三个函数默认fork为main，getdatabit为false。
它输出的是文件位置及名称（relpath），文件顺序（segment），OS page或block大小（os_page_size），对象占用系统缓存需要的页面个数（rel_os_pages），对象已经占用缓存页面个数（pages_mem），在缓存中连续的页面组的个数（group_mem），OS剩余的page数（os_pages_free），加载信息的位图（databit）。
postgres=# select * from pgfincore('testmem1','main',false);
-[ RECORD 1 ]-+-----------------
relpath | base/13003/16384
segment | 0
os_page_size | 4096
rel_os_pages | 42554
pages_mem | 2
group_mem | 1
os_pages_free | 325475
databit |
postgres=# select * from pgfincore('testmem1',false);
-[ RECORD 1 ]-+-----------------
relpath | base/13003/16384

os_page_size | 4096

postgres=# select * from pgfincore('testmem1');

os_page_size | 4096
rel_os_pages | 42554
pages_mem | 2
group_mem | 1
os_pages_free | 325475
databit |
7、pgfadvise_loader：
这个函数可以对页面缓存直接进行两方面的作用。因此，它能通过页面的位图在缓存中来对页面进行加载或卸载。
它分为两个函数和上边的类似，就是设置缺省值，的输入参数是（relname,segment,load,unload,databit）和（relname,databit），分别是对象名，文件分支名，文件序号，是否加载，是否卸载，位图信息。第二个函数默认fork为main。
它输出的是物理文件名及path（relpath），OS page或block大小（os_page_size）,OS中剩余的page数(os_pages_free)，加载的page数（pages_load），卸载的page数（pages_unload）。
postgres=# select * from pgfincore('testmem1');
-[ RECORD 1 ]-+-----------------
relpath | base/13003/16384
segment | 0
os_page_size | 4096
rel_os_pages | 42554
