I'm very new to Postgresql, so don't beat me up to bad if you see a problem, just inform me what I've done wrong.
I'm use Postgresql 7.2 (PeerDirect's Windows port) on Win2000 384MB RAM 10GB of Free space 800 Mhz, using the ODBC driver 7.03.01.00. I have a table that has 103,000 records in it (record size is about 953 bytes) and when I do a select all (select * from <table>) it takes a whopping 30 secs for the data to return!! SQLServer on the other hand takes 6 secs, but you can also use what is called a firehose cursor, which will return the data in < 1 sec. I have done everything that I know how to speed this up, does anyone have any advise?
