The queries are not too complex, but we don't know which of them gets selected for each cursor, and which of them is the slow one. I suggest you identify which of the cursors is the most problematic one, and focus on investigating it alone. Show us the explain analyze for that query with different cursor_tuple_fraction values and without the cursort, and so on. As Tom said, for a cursor the optimizer may be picking a plan with low startup cost, on the basis that that's good for a cursor. But if you're always consuming all the tuples, that may be inefficient. It's often an issue for queries with LIMIT, but none of the queries you include that clause, so who knows ... Try identifying which of the cursors is causing the issues, show us the explain analyze for that query (with and without the cursor), and that should tell us more. regards -- Tomas Vondra EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Re: slow performance with cursor
I set the cursor_tuple_fraction to 1 now I am seeing high cpu for fetach all in The number of rows returned is less than 200. Why is the high cpu being shown for fetch all -Ayub On Fri, 25 Jun 2021, 19:09 Ayub Khan, wrote: > > I am using postgresql 12 and using cursors in a stored procedure, > executing procedure which has cursor is slowing down the call.

Possibly twiddling cursor_tuple_fraction would help. The default setting tends to encourage fast-start plans, which might be counterproductive if you're always fetching the entire result in one go. regards, tom lane
Re: slow performance with cursor
slowness is on the database side as I see the CPU goes high for procedures returning the result using cursors. If the same query is executed as a prepared statement from Java client there is no slowness. for example there are 84 rows returning all are text data from a query. If the result is returned by cursor from the database, the cpu is high on the db. stored procedure A executes query Q and returns cursor1, this process has high cpu on the database. code changed in Java client to execute the same query as the prepared statement and get back the resultset from the database, this does not create a high cpu on the database. --Ayub On Fri, Jun 25, 2021 at 7:09 PM Ayub Khan wrote: > > I am using postgresql 12 and using cursors in a stored procedure, > executing procedure which has cursor is slowing down the call.

I expect there would be a very high overhead if you read a large number of tuples one at a time. > Is there any setting which needs to be modified to improve the performance > of cursors.

Is the slowness between the client-server or on the server side ? Provide some details ? -- Justin
