Re: [PERFORM] extremely slow when execute select/delete for certain tables

2006-05-08 Thread kah_hang_ang




Actually now I already work to upgrade Postgresql version to 8.1 but not
yet finish.

Yesterday I did re-create the affected tables indices, it does improve the
performance but still need 2-5 mins to execute the query.
Is this 'normal' for a table with 40K rows of records?

Anyway thanks for your help.

Note that 7.2.x isn't supported anymore, and there's data loss bugs that
could affect it. You should at least move up to 7.4.x.

And if that doesn't work we need at least the output of EXPLAIN, if not
EXPLAIN ANALYZE.

First, you should consider to upgrade your PostgreSQL server to a newer
version, at least to 7.2.8 which fixes some critical bugs.

But it will be much better to upgrade to current 8.1 version, as I think
that your problem is caused by index bloat, and indices are handled much
better in 8.1.

Try recreating your indices using REINDEX command.

HTH,
Markus

[PERFORM] extremely slow when execute select/delete for certain tables only...

2006-05-08 Thread kah_hang_ang




I'm facing a very weird problem.
Recently our database run very slow when execute Delete/Select statement
for a few tables only..
The largest table only have 50K rows of data.

When I run the statement from pgAdmin although it is slow but not as slow
as run from webapp.
When I run the statement from webapp, it become extremely slow.
Even a simple delete statement will takes 20-40 minutes to complete.

I already vacuum those tables with full option but it still the same.

What could be the possible causes of this problem?
How can I solve it?

CPU - Intel Xeon 2.40 GHz
Memory - 1.5G
Postgresql version: 7.2.2

Thanks.
