I've run with derby.language.logQueryPlan=true and result is that I have table scan for only one table, that has actually one record. The most costing queries are sub-selects (cost 13525) inside a almost large query, but everything is being run either using indexes (cost between 13 and 25) or hashed joins (throught PK, with cost between 50 and 80).

Hi!

I'm trying to embed Derby into Tomcat web apps (using Embedded driver). But I found it's very, very slow. My tables are not so big (majority have 10 or 20 records), and 2 have many records (27000 in one, 436000 in other). I have same database running at full speed using MaxDB (SapAG/MySQL product) and MS SQL Server (Microsoft product). I have all indexes that someone could think (I've spent several hours tweaking for MaxDB and MS SQL several time ago, and I've found what are best fields to be indexed for my queries). If fields in where clauses are out of order in relation to indexes, Derby is capable to reorganize query and use the index (like MaxDB, PostgreSQL, MS SQL and other products)? Is there any tips for using derby inside Tomcat? Should I use it in Server mode?

Thanks for any tips,

Some things to check :
1) Check if you are running in autocommit mode set to true. Inserts can be painfully slow in autocommit mode. The reason is that each commit involves a flush of the log to the disk for each insert statement. The commit will not return until a physical disk write has been executed


No difference. May app is query intensive.


2) Are you using prepared statements with parameter markers (?) , or are you using Statements It is not a good idea to use Statement, use PreparedStatement instead. Using prepared statements instead of statements can help avoid unnecessary compilation which saves time.

So  statements like
insert into t values(1);
insert tinto t values(2)
.....
will involve compilation cost for each of the statements

but if you use PreparedStatement
insert into t values (?)

The statement will be compiled once and subsequent executions will save the compilation step.
Also check the following links in the tuning manual:
http://incubator.apache.org/derby/manuals/tuning/perf21.html#HDRSII-PERF-18705
http://incubator.apache.org/derby/manuals/tuning/perf34.html#IDX438


I believe it's prepared statements. I'm using JSTL, so I don't have much control about implementation.


3) What queries are performing slow ? If you set derby.language.logQueryPlan=true, this will print the query plans used for the queries in derby.log. This might help to check if the indexes are being used correctly or not.


I'll try that.


4) Is your app cpu bound or i/o bound.


can you be more clear? The CPU is a Athlon 1.4, 640Mb RAM with 22Mb/s ide hard disk.

Thanks,
