PROMOTE_SUBCLUSTER_TO_PRIMARY

Eon Mode only

Converts a secondary subcluster to a primary subcluster. You cannot use this function to promote the subcluster that contains the initiator node. You must call it while connected to a node in another subcluster.

This function call can take a long time to complete because all of the nodes in the subcluster you are promoting will take a global catalog lock, write a checkpoint, and then commit. This global catalog lock can cause other database tasks to fail with errors.

Schedule calls to this function to occur when other database activity is low.

Syntax

PROMOTE_SUBCLUSTER_TO_PRIMARY('subcluster-name')

Parameters

subcluster‑name The name of the secondary cluster to promote to a primary subcluster.

Privileges

Superuser

Examples

The following example promotes the subcluster named analytics_cluster to a primary cluster:

=> SELECT DISTINCT subcluster_name, is_primary from subclusters;
  subcluster_name  | is_primary
-------------------+------------
 analytics_cluster | f
 load_subcluster   | t
(2 rows)


=> SELECT PROMOTE_SUBCLUSTER_TO_PRIMARY('analytics_cluster');
 PROMOTE_SUBCLUSTER_TO_PRIMARY
-------------------------------
 PROMOTE SUBCLUSTER TO PRIMARY
(1 row)


=> SELECT DISTINCT subcluster_name, is_primary from subclusters;
  subcluster_name  | is_primary
-------------------+------------
 analytics_cluster | t
 load_subcluster   | t
(2 rows)
