Zorluk: Çok zorManaging Storage and Database Solutions

An operations engineer is managing a production Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL database instance. To analyze query performance bottlenecks, the engineer needs to enable the `pg_stat_statements` extension and adjust database configuration flags. Modifying `shared_preload_libraries` requires a database restart to take effect. Which sequence of administrative actions must the engineer execute to properly apply this configuration using GCP standard practices?

  1. Execute `gcloud sql instances patch` specifying `--database-flags=shared_preload_libraries=pg_stat_statements`, allow the automatic restart to complete, and then connect to the database to run `CREATE EXTENSION pg_stat_statements;`.Cevap
  2. B
    Export a service account private JSON key, upload the `pg_stat_statements` library file using `gcloud storage cp` directly into the underlying instance filesystem, and execute `gcloud sql instances restart`.
  3. C
    Migrate the PostgreSQL database tables to a Cloud Bigtable instance using `gcloud bigtable instances update` so that PostgreSQL extensions can be loaded dynamically without database downtime.
  4. D
    Execute `gsutil setmeta` on the underlying database storage bucket to set `shared_preload_libraries=pg_stat_statements`, then run `gcloud sql flags list` to refresh database settings.

Cevap

The engineer must run `gcloud sql instances patch` with the `--database-flags` parameter specifying `shared_preload_libraries=pg_stat_statements`, wait for the instance to restart, and then execute `CREATE EXTENSION pg_stat_statements;` within a SQL client session.
In Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, configuring database flags that alter preloaded shared libraries requires updating instance flags via `gcloud sql instances patch`. Cloud SQL handles the required instance restart automatically when static flags are modified. Once restarted, running `CREATE EXTENSION pg_stat_statements;` inside a SQL connection enables the extension features.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Configure the Cloud SQL instance database flag using the gcloud CLI tool.
The command `gcloud sql instances patch INSTANCE_NAME --database-flags shared_preload_libraries=pg_stat_statements` updates the instance configuration.
Cloud SQL manages engine configuration flags through instance patch operations.
2
Allow the managed instance restart to take place.
The database instance restarts automatically because `shared_preload_libraries` is a static PostgreSQL parameter requiring initialization at boot.
Static parameters in PostgreSQL cannot be loaded into memory without restarting the database daemon.
3
Connect to the database and register the extension.
Executing `CREATE EXTENSION pg_stat_statements;` enables the query monitoring views.
PostgreSQL requires explicit SQL DDL registration of preloaded shared libraries within the target database.
