Hi Everyone,
Im having a performance issue with version 7.3.4 which i first thought was Disk
IO
related, however now it seems like the problem is caused by really slow
commits, this
is running on Redhat 8.
Basically im taking a .sql file with insert of about 15,000 lines and <'ing
straight
into psql DATABASENAME, the Disk writes never gets over about 2000 on this
machine
with a RAID5 SCSI setup, this happens in my PROD and DEV environment.
Ive installed the latest version on RedHat ES3 and copied the configs across
however
the inserts are really really fast..
Was there a performce change from 7.3.4 to current to turn of autocommits by
default
or is buffering handled differently ?
I have ruled out Disk IO issues as a siple 'cp' exceeds Disk writes to 60000
(using vmstat)
If i do this with a BEGIN; and COMMIT; its really fast, however not practical
as im setting
up a cold-standby server for automation.
Have been trying to debug for a few days now and see nothing.. here is some
