Hi,

I am running PostgreSQL-8.4.0 on a SMP Server which has 32 processors (32X2=64 cores). I am working on database parallelism and I need to do profiling in order to find the relevant parts to parallelize. I wrote 15 queries which are performing select, sort, join, and aggregate functions and I want to profile these queries and try to understand where postgresql spends more time and then I will try to parallelize source code(time spending parts) by using openMP. But I need guidance about profiling tool, which is the best tool to profile queries. I used gprof but I want to profile with a more advanced tool. Options are oprofile and valgrind.

1) I can not decide which best suits for query profiling. oprofile or valgrind?

2) Also for both I can not find documentation about profiling steps.

Please help,
Reydan
