Barry,

One way to do this is to turn logging on for calls over a certain duration


log_duration in the config file. This will only log calls over n milliseconds.

There's a tool called iron eye SQL that monitors JDBC calls.

unfortunately I am getting DNS errors from that site right now. I do have a copy of their code if you need it.

That was my suspicion as well, which is why I tried the V2 protocol.

I do not know of any specific queries that are causing the problem. As
I monitor 'top' I see processes utilizing a significant amount of CPU
running SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE, which would lead me to believe that
it isn't any one specific query.

How does one identify on a live system specific queries that are running
slow, especially with the V3 protocol and when the system is executing
about a 100 queries a second (which makes turning on any sort of logging very very verbose)? (I just subscribed to the performance list, so this
is probably something that has been answered many times before on this
list).

I haven't tried to track down a performance problem like this before on postgres. Since most of our large customers run Oracle that is where I
have the knowledge to figure something like this out.

Thanks,

First knee-jerk reaction is that it's an optimization problem stemming
from V3 protocol feeding parameterized queries to the backend where V2
did not, and the planner being unable to cope :-(

Can you identify the specific queries causing the problem?
