TBase Database Management System
TBase is an advanced enterprise-level database management system based on prior work of Postgres-XL project. It supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, user-defined types and functions. Additional, it adds parallel computing, security, management, audit and other functions.
TBase has many language interfaces similar to PostgreSQL, many of which are listed here:

Overview
A TBase cluster consists of multiple CoordinateNodes, DataNodes, and GTM nodes. All user data resides in the DataNode, the CoordinateNode contains only metadata, the GTM for global transaction management. The CoordinateNodes and DataNodes share the same schema.
Users always connect to the CoordinateNodes, which divides up the query into fragments that are executed in the DataNodes, and collects the results.

Building
git clone https://github.com/Tencent/TBase
export SOURCECODE_PATH=/data/tbase/TBase
export INSTALL_PATH=/data/tbase/install
cd ${SOURCECODE_PATH}
rm -rf ${INSTALL_PATH}/tbase_bin_v2.0
chmod +x configure*
./configure --prefix=${INSTALL_PATH}/tbase_bin_v2.0 --enable-user-switch --with-openssl --with-ossp-uuid CFLAGS=-g
make clean
make -sj
make install
chmod +x contrib/pgxc_ctl/make_signature
cd contrib
make -sj
make install
Notice: if you use Ubuntu and see initgtm: command not found while doing "init all", you may add ${INSTALL_PATH}/tbase_bin_v2.0/bin to /etc/environment
Installation
Use PGXC_CTL tool to build a cluster, for example: a cluster with a global transaction management node (GTM), a coordinator(COORDINATOR) and two data nodes (DATANODE).
Preparation
-
Install pgxc and import the path of pgxc installation package into environment variable.
PG_HOME=${INSTALL_PATH}/tbase_bin_v2.0 export PATH="$PATH:$PG_HOME/bin" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PG_HOME/lib" export LC_ALL=C
-
Disable SELinux and firewall (optinal)
vi /etc/selinux/config # disable SELinux, change SELINUX=enforcing to SELINUX=disabled # disable firewall, for Ubuntu, change firewalld to ufw systemctl disable firewalld systemctl stop firewalld
-
Get through the SSH password free login between the machines where the cluster node is installed, and then deploy and init will SSH to the machines of each node. After getting through, you do not need to enter the password.
su tbase ssh-keygen -t rsa ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub destination-user@destination-server
Cluster startup steps
-
Generate and fill in configuration file pgxc_ctl.conf. pgxc_ctl tool can generate a template for the configuration file. You need to fill in the cluster node information in the template. After the pgxc_ctl tool is started, pgxc_ctl directory will be generated in the current user's home directory. After entering " prepare config" command, the configuration file template that can be directly modified will be generated in pgxc_ctl directory.
- The pgxcInstallDir at the beginning of the configuration file refers to the installation package location of pgxc. The database user can set it according to his own needs.
pgxcInstallDir=${INSTALL_PATH}/tbase_bin_v2.0
- For GTM, you need to configure the node name, IP, port and node directory.
#---- GTM ---------- gtmName=gtm gtmMasterServer=xxx.xxx.xxx.1 gtmMasterPort=50001 gtmMasterDir=${GTM_MASTER_DATA_DIR}/data/gtm_master
- If you do not need gtmSlave, you can directly set it to 'n' in the configuration of the corresponding node.
gtmSlave=n
If you need gtmSlave, configure it according to the instructions in the configuration file.
- Coordination node, which needs to be configured with IP, port, directory, etc.
coordNames=(cn001) coordMasterCluster=(tbase_cluster) coordPorts=(30004) poolerPorts=(30014) coordPgHbaEntries=(0.0.0.0/0) coordMasterServers=(xxx.xxx.xxx.2) coordMasterDirs=(${COORD_MASTER_DATA_DIR}/data/cn_master/cn001)
- Data node, similar to the above nodes: IP, port, directory, etc. (since there are two data nodes, you need to configure the same information as the number of nodes.)
primaryDatanode=dn001 datanodeNames=(dn001 dn002) datanodePorts=(20008 20009) datanodePoolerPorts=(20018 20019) datanodeMasterCluster=(tbase_cluster tbase_cluster) datanodePgHbaEntries=(0.0.0.0/0) datanodeMasterServers=(xxx.xxx.xxx.3 xxx.xxx.xxx.4) datanodeMasterDirs=(${DATANODE_MASTER_DATA_DIR}/data/dn_master/dn001 ${DATANODE_MASTER_DATA_DIR}/data/dn_master/dn002)
There are coordSlave and datanodeSlave corresponding to the coordination node and data node. If not, configure them as 'n'; otherwise, configure them according to the configuration file.
In addition, two type ports:
poolerPort
andport
, need to be configured for coordinator node and datanode.poolerPort
is used by nodes to communicate with other nodes.port
is the port used to login to the node. Here,poolerPort
andport
must be configured differently, otherwise there will be conflicts and the cluster cannot be started.Each node needs to have its own directory and cannot be created in the same directory.
-
Distribution of installation package(deploy all). After filling in the configuration file, run the pgxc_ctl tool,and then input "deploy all" command to distribute the installation package to the IP machine of each node.
-
Initialize each node of the cluster(init all). After the distribution of the installation package is completed, input "init all" command in pgxc_ctl tool to initialize all the nodes in the configuration file pgxc_ctl.conf and start the cluster. So far, the cluster has been started.
Usage
$ psql -h ${CoordinateNode_IP} -p ${CoordinateNode_PORT} -U ${pgxcOwner} -d postgres
postgres=# create default node group default_group with (dn001,dn002);
CREATE NODE GROUP
postgres=# create sharding group to group default_group;
CREATE SHARDING GROUP
postgres=# create table foo(id bigint, str text) distribute by shard(id);
