Dear all, I am currently experiencing troubles with the performance of my critical's database.
The problem is the time that the postgres takes to perform/return a query. For example, trying the \d <tablename> command takes between 4 or 5 seconds. This table is very big, but I am not asking for the rows, only asking the table schema, so...why is this so slow?!?!? My last administrative action into this table was a reindex to all the indexes via the BKI in standalone mode. I thought I suceed, but this was las saturday. Today I am in the same situation again. The only change that I've done was a highest level of debug in the conf file (loggin lot of stuff). I understand that this could lack on performance, but when I've changed the .conf file to the usual .conf file (with less debug), and pg_ctl reload(ed) it, it goes on debuging as in the first state, in the higher level. Is this a known issue? My conclusion is that I can aquire high levels of debug while the server is running, editing the .conf file, and pg_reload(ing) it, but I can go back then, unless I pg_restart the server. Is this ok?
