Synopsis

PAUSE JOB job_id JOBS select_stmt for_schedules_clause

Parameters

Parameter Description
job_id The ID of the job you want to pause, which can be found with SHOW JOBS.
select_stmt A selection query that returns job_id(s) to pause.
for_schedules_clause The schedule you want to pause jobs for. You can pause jobs for a specific schedule (FOR SCHEDULE id) or pause jobs for multiple schedules by nesting a SELECT clause in the statement (FOR SCHEDULES <select_clause>). See the examples below.

Examples

Pause a single job

icon/buttons/copy
> SHOW JOBS;
      job_id     |  job_type |               description                 |...
-----------------+-----------+-------------------------------------------+...
  27536791415282 |  RESTORE  | RESTORE db.* FROM 'azure://backup/db/tbl' |...
icon/buttons/copy
> PAUSE JOB 27536791415282;

Pause multiple jobs

To pause multiple jobs, nest a SELECT clause that retrieves job_id(s) inside the PAUSE JOBS statement:

icon/buttons/copy
> PAUSE JOBS (SELECT job_id FROM [SHOW JOBS]
      WHERE user_name = 'maxroach');

All jobs created by maxroach will be paused.

Pause automatic table statistics jobs

icon/buttons/copy
> SHOW AUTOMATIC JOBS;
        job_id       |       job_type      |                    description                      |...
---------------------+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+...
  438235476849557505 |  AUTO CREATE STATS  | Table statistics refresh for defaultdb.public.users |...
(1 row)
icon/buttons/copy
> PAUSE JOB 438235476849557505;

To permanently disable automatic table statistics jobs, disable the sql.stats.automatic_collection.enabled cluster setting:

icon/buttons/copy
> SET CLUSTER SETTING sql.stats.automatic_collection.enabled = false;

Pause jobs for a schedule

To pause jobs for a specific backup schedule, use the schedule's id:

icon/buttons/copy
> PAUSE JOBS FOR SCHEDULE 590204387299262465;
PAUSE JOBS FOR SCHEDULES 1

You can also pause multiple schedules by nesting a SELECT clause that retrieves id(s) inside the PAUSE JOBS statement:

icon/buttons/copy
> PAUSE JOBS FOR SCHEDULES SELECT id FROM [SHOW SCHEDULES] WHERE label = 'test_schedule';
PAUSE JOBS FOR SCHEDULES 2
