I'm skeptical that PostgreSQL is causing the performance problem here -- 1 minute for a DELETE on a single-page table is absurdly slow. If you enable the log_min_duration_statement configuration variable, you should be able to get an idea of how long it actually takes PostgreSQL to execute each query -- do you see some 60 second queries in the log? What is the system load like when the query takes a long time? For example, `vmstat 1` output around this point in time would be helpful. Does PostgreSQL consume a lot of CPU time or do a lot of disk I/O? Can you confirm this problem using psql? > There are 6 rows in the table (given that size, I assumed that an > index was not necessary). That's a reasonable assumption. -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
