I have been reading all this technical talk about costs and such that
I don't (_yet_) understand.
Now I'm scared... what's the fastest way to do an equivalent of
count(*) on a table to know how many items it has?
Make sure to analyze the database frequently and check pg_class for
reltuples
It certainly makes quite a difference as I measure it:
doing select(1) from a 181000 page table (completely uncached) on my
PIII:
8.0 : 32 s
8.1 : 25 s
Note that the 'fastcount()' function takes 21 s in both cases - so all
the improvement seems to be from the count overhead

Hi all,
I don't understand why this request take so long. Maybe I read the
analyse correctly but It seem that the first line(Nested Loop Left Join
...) take all the time. But I don't understand where the performance
problem is ??? All the time is passed in the first line ...
Thanks for
Forgive my ignorance, but what is MPP? Is that part of Bizgres? Is it
possible to upgrade from Postgres 8.1 to Bizgres?

Your loops are what is causing the time spent.
eg. actual time=0.127..17.379 rows=1154 loops=8335) ==
8335*(17.379-0.127)/1000=143 secs (if my math is correct).
As for where the problem is, I think it's the horrid misestimate of the

Thanks for your reply. So how is that different than something like
Slony2 or pgcluster with multi-master replication? Is it similar
technology? We're currently looking for a good clustering solution
that will work on our Apple Xserves and Xserve RAIDs.
