Re: [PERFORM] Joining 2 tables with 300 million rows

What's the problem? You are joining two 300 million row tables in 0.15 of a second - seems reasonable. Dmitri > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Amit V Shah > Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 11:59 AM > To: 'pgsql-performance@post

Re: [PERFORM] zero performance on query

2005-10-25 Thread Dmitri Bichko
That seems like a pretty horrible way to do that query, given the table sizes. What about something like: SELECT count(*) FROM fotos f LEFT JOIN archivo a USING(archivo) WHERE a.archivo IS NULL Incidentally, can someone explain what the "Materialize" subplan does? Is this new in 8.1? Dmitri

Re: [PERFORM] JFS fastest filesystem for PostgreSQL?

2005-07-14 Thread Dmitri Bichko
I was wondering - have you had a chance to run the same benchmarks on ReiserFS (ideally both 3 and 4, with notail)? I'd be quite interested to see how it performs in this situation since it's my fs of choice for most things. Thanks, Dmitri -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mail

Re: [PERFORM] Storing data and indexes in different disks

2005-07-06 Thread Dmitri Bichko
I'd say it's a little early to worry about a 10% performance increase when you don't have any redundancy. You might want to consider using more, cheaper SATA disks - with more spindles you may very well get better performance in addition to redundancy. Anyway, here's an optimization project I jus

Re: [PERFORM] Performance Tuning Article

2005-06-24 Thread Dmitri Bichko
Hi, The article seems to dismiss RAID5 a little too quickly. For many application types, using fast striped mirrors for the index space and RAID5 for the data can offer quite good performance (provided a sufficient number of spindles for the RAID5 - 5 or 6 disks or more). In fact, random read (i
