Postgres 是否缓存我们的查询以及我们如何绕过它？

Question

我正在尝试运行以下一段 python3 代码：

import os
import psycopg2
import logging

# Set max attempts before giving up
MAX_ATTEMPTS = 5

# Set basic logging config to debug (i.e. log everything).
# By default, this will log te stdout (i.e. it will behave the same as print)
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

# Grab DB url from env variable
database_url = os.environ.get('DATABASE_URL')

assert database_url is not None, 'DATABASE_URL env variable must be set to a postgres connection string.'

# Initiate psycopg2 and instantiate a cursor object
conn = psycopg2.connect(database_url)
cursor = conn.cursor()


# Define function to delete old records
def delete_old_records(cur):
    # execute a query to delete old records. We're going to refer to this as the "delete" command
    query = 'DELETE FROM my_table WHERE id NOT IN ( SELECT id FROM ( SELECT id FROM my_table ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1850 ) foo);'
    cur.execute(query)


# Set variables to keep track of loop
successful = False
attempts = 0

# While not successful and max attempts not reached
while not successful and attempts < MAX_ATTEMPTS:
    try:
        # Attempt to delete old records
        delete_old_records(cursor)
        # Set successful to True if no errors were encountered in the previous line
        successful = True
        # Log a message
        logging.info('Successfully truncated old records!')
    # If some psycopg2 error happens
    except psycopg2.Error as e:
        # Log the error
        logging.exception('Got exception when executing query')
        # Rollback the cursor and get ready to try again
        conn.rollback()
        # Increment attempts by 1
        attempts += 1

# If not able to perform operation after max attempts, log message to indicate failure
if not successful:
    logging.warning(f'Was not successfully able to truncate logs after {MAX_ATTEMPTS} retries. '
                    f'Check logs for traceback (console output by default).')

这是问题所在：

代码执行成功，没有错误。但是，当我们运行在postico（Postgres GUI for Mac）上执行以下命令（以下简称"count"命令）时：
```
SELECT count(*) from my_table;
```
我们得到 1860 而不是 1850（即行未被删除）。
当运行在 psql 或 postico 中手动执行删除命令时，我们分别在运行在 psql 或 postico 中执行 COUNT 命令时得到正确的结果。然而，当运行在 ipython.
当我打开与计算机 A 上 ipython 上的数据库的连接时，我运行删除命令，然后打开另一个连接到 ipython 在计算机 B 上和运行计数命令，我看到数据库行数没有改变，即仍然是 1860，没有减少到 1850。

我怀疑 caching/memoization 但我不确定我的命令是否真的有效。 psycopg2、postico 或 postgres 本身是否有可能导致此问题的原因？我们如何解决这个问题？我们在 postico 或 psycopg2/postgres 上没有看到任何清晰的缓存。

不涉及缓存。 PostgreSQL 不缓存查询结果。

您只是忘记了 COMMIT 删除事务，因此它的影响在任何并发事务中都不可见。

Is Postgres caching our queries and how do we get around it?
