I set up 11,111 of tables inherited from a common table.
(echo "CREATE TABLE t (a int);"
for i in `seq 0 9`; do
echo "CREATE TABLE s$i (b int) INHERITS(t);"
for j in `seq 0 9`; do
echo "CREATE TABLE v$i$j (c int) INHERITS(s$i);"
for k in `seq 0 9`; do
echo "CREATE TABLE w$i$j$k (d int) INHERITS(v$i$j);"
for l in `seq 0 9`; do
echo "CREATE TABLE x$i$j$k$l (e int) INHERITS(w$i$j$k);"
done
done
done
done) | psql test
And, I measured time to execute the following query using /usr/bin/time.
ALTER TABLE t RENAME a TO aa;
ALTER TABLE t RENAME aa TO aaa;
ALTER TABLE t RENAME aaa TO aaaa;
ALTER TABLE t RENAME aaaa TO aaaaa;
ALTER TABLE t RENAME aaaaa TO a;
The platform is Pentium4 (3.20GHz) and generic SATA drive.
* CVS HEAD - does not care anything
Avg: 25.840s (25.663s 24.214s 26.958s 26.525s)
* My rev.3 patch - find_all_inheritors_with_inhcount()
Avg: 26.488s (25.197s 27.847s 25.487s 27.421s)
* My rev.4 patch - find_column_origin(), also fixes AT_AlterColumnType case
Avg: 28.693s (27.936s 30.295s 29.385s 27.159s)
It seems to me the result is different from Bernd's report.
