Hello Friends, I found very a strange thing about postgres Database. I am running postgres under Linux operating system.
I am having a website in PHP and having one perl program which runs every friday to generate a report. The size of thsi postgres DB is near about 5-7 MB. In the start when records were less in the DB the file too around 3 to mins to generate a report we called as Friday report. The web pages were also coming fast in the browser. So I was quite happy abt the performanance. But Later on as the DB size get increased the time was also get increased. And at one point i noticed the time required to gererate this report is very high near abt 10 to 15 hrs. So I checked for performanance. Site was also become very slow. A simple page which is fetching just 20 records, for that also I got the error page not displayed.I tried my level best to find out the problem. But I couldn't...!!! :-(( So at last I decided to drop DB and recreate once more after taking backup of data. And I did that. After that i was surprised that site become very very fast. And the pages for which I got the error comes in less than 10 seconds. So can u tell me why this happens ? Why suddenly DB performanance get increased so fastly ? Prev.ly I tried for vacuumdb also.... If anybody there knows the reason for this please reply me. Thanx in advance.
