[HACKERS] java access to the backend (non jdbc)?

2003-02-13 Thread Shahbaz Chaudhary
Hi All,
I was wondering if there is a libq or libqxx type library written in
java.  Even if it is done through jni.  I would like to do some
experiments, perhaps make a utility that reads server information such
as currently executing query, current locks, amount of disk/ram taken up
by pgsql.  Basically some very useful information for admins.  I've
forgotten most of C, C++ (from college days), but would love to try my
hand at such a utility...I'm sure there are others who would like to use
java to access such a backend.  Any pointers?

Shahbaz C.

Well, I wrote pgmonitor on gborg.postgresql.org, which is like top for
PostgreSQL, but is in TCL.  It uses ps internally.

 Sorry, I don't think I made myself clear.  I don't want to query the DB
 every few seconds to get its current status.  I want to keep an open an
 open connection and have immediate access to all information like I have
 when I set the debug level high and see everything going on inside the
 DB right on my machine.
 
 I guess think of it as a dashboard that constantly displays the db
 status.  Something like 'top' rather than 'ps -ef|grep .'.
 
 As far as I understand, JDBC is just a mechanism to connect to a db,
 execute queries, etc., not get this kind of info.
