HeliosDB Nano v2.3.0 System Views - Code Structure Reference

File Location

/home/claude/HeliosDB Nano/src/sql/system_views.rs

Added Code Sections

1. View Registration Method (register_v2_3_monitoring_views)

Location: Line 505-638

fn register_v2_3_monitoring_views(&mut self) {
    // Registers 6 new system views:
    // - pg_stat_replication (replication status)
    // - pg_stat_progress_vacuum (maintenance progress)
    // - helios_sync_status (node sync metrics)
    // - helios_query_history (query performance log)
    // - helios_table_memory_stats (table memory usage)
    // - helios_transaction_stats (transaction statistics)
}

Key Components:

  • 6 SystemView registrations
  • Each with name, category, description, and schema
  • Full column definitions with data types
  • Comments explaining each view’s purpose

Schema Definition Examples

View Registration Pattern

self.register(SystemView {
    name: "view_name".to_string(),
    category: ViewCategory::Feature,  // or Statistics, etc.
    description: "Description".to_string(),
    schema: Schema {
        columns: vec![
            Column::new("col1", DataType::Int8),
            Column::new("col2", DataType::Text),
            Column::new("col3", DataType::Timestamptz),
        ],
    },
});

Tuple Creation Pattern

let tuple = Tuple::new(vec![
    Value::Int8(123),
    Value::String("text".to_string()),
    Value::Timestamp(DateTime::from_timestamp(ts, 0).unwrap_or_default()),
]);

Data Type Mappings
