Re: [PERFORM] stats on cursor and query execution troubleshooting

Thanks for your repply, but I still don"t understand why the
statistic logs :

! 0/0 [0/0] filesystem blocks in/out


it told me there is no hard disk access, I'm sure there is, I
heard my HDD, and see activity using gkrellm (even using my first
query ; big select *) ?

2004-10-08 10:40:05 DEBUG: query: select * from "LINE_Line";
2004-10-08 10:40:53 DEBUG: QUERY STATISTICS
! system usage stats:
! 48.480196 elapsed 42.01 user 0.70 system sec
! [42.03 user 0.72 sys total]
! 0/0 [0/0] filesystem blocks in/out
! 6/23 [294/145] page faults/reclaims, 0 [0] swaps
! 0 [0] signals rcvd, 0/0 [0/0] messages rcvd/sent
! 0/0 [0/0] voluntary/involuntary context switches
! postgres usage stats:
! Shared blocks: 3902 read, 0 written, buffer hit
rate = 11.78%
! Local blocks: 0 read, 0 written, buffer hit
rate = 0.00%
! Direct blocks: 0 read, 0 written


looking at the web some logs, I saw those fields filled (i/o
filesystem) 
Does my postgresql.conf missing an option or is therer a known bug of
my postgresql server 7.2.4 ?



thx

I think your second query is finding all the disk pages it needs in
kernel disk cache, because they were all read in by the first query.
This has little to do with cursor versus non cursor, and everything
to do with hitting recently-read data again.
