[PERFORM] Observation about db response time

[Akshay Mathur]

Hello Friends,   We were having a database in pgsql7.4.2 The database was responding very slowly even after full vacuum analyze (select count(*) from some_table_having_18000_records was taking 18 Sec).   We took a backup of that db and restored it back. Now the same db on same PC is responding fast (same query is taking 18 ms).   But we can't do the same as a solution of slow response. Do anybody has faced similar problem? Is this due to any internal problem of pgsql? Is there any clue to fasten the database?   Regards,   akshay     --------------------------------------- Akshay Mathur SMTS, Product Verification AirTight Networks, Inc.
