Yes, ext3 is the global file system, and you are right, PG xlog and data are on this one. Is this really what happens Aidan at fsync? What is be the best I can do? Mount xlog directory to a separate file system? If so, which file system fits the best for this purpose? Should I also mount the data

I have moved the data directory (xlog, base, global, and everything) to an ext4 file system. The result hasn't changed unfortuately. With the same load test the average response time: 80ms; from 40ms to 120 ms everything occurs. This ext4 has default settings in fstab. Have you got any other idea

Thanks, Josh. The only reason I tried 8.4 first is that it was available for Debian as compiled package, so it was simpler for me to do it. Anyway I am going to test 9.1 too. I will post about the results. Best reagrds, Otto 2011/12/7 Josh Berkus j...@agliodbs.com On 12/6/11 4:30 PM,

Thanks for that Mario, I will check it out. @All: Anyway, I have compiled 9.1.2 from source, and unfortunately the performance haven't got better at the same load, it is consistently quite low (~70 ms average transaction time with 100 clients) on this Debian. I am quite surprised about this, it

Do not use setString() method to pass the parameter to the PreparedStatement in JDBC. Construct an SQL query string as you write it here and query the database with this new SQL string. This will make the planner to recreate a plan every time for every new SQL string per session (that is not

The thing to remember here is that prepared statements are only planned once and strait queries are planned for each query. When you give the query planner some concrete input like in your example then it will happily use the index because it can check if the input starts with % or _. If you use
