Hi Walter

When you connect to the PostGis database make sure that you have selected the 
Use estimated metadata option - this optimises the connection for large 
datasets - see attached screenshot.  This should greatly improve the connection 
times for postigs.  (If you are already doing this then may need to look 
further!)

Cheers
Chris

sorry, no special plugin; just that build in PostGis tool.

mainly i need to the the queries going to the server in order to optimize
some indexes.
even adding EXPLAIn to the Query whould help a lot.

Use estimated metadata is true and i see (in wireshark!) qgis is only
fetching 100 samples to get the geometry. But even that needs a very long
time. 

I think, Postgis is doing a sequential search but i'm no shure about that.
But why does Qgis check the geometry? it is allready known and should not be
necessary.

This part of Qgis is for me like a Black Box: select your data and wait. No
loggin, no infos, nothing. Just wait.

That is very frustrating in the developement-phase of a map. Killed the
Qgis-Process dozend times a day, loaded my last save and started again. :(

Regards
walter

 Can you send the whole query ?
 I think there's a class of such issues with big tables that need be
 addressed (and secured with some automated testcase).

I did it again and - performance is ok - no idea what is going on there. :(

 No
 loggin, no infos, nothing. Just wait.
 
 You can open some of the box by connecting to the database
 and looking at the pg_stat_activity table.

will try it this night with another table.

But: it would be much much easier if Qgis would do the Job: log all queries
sent to to the server instead of using external tools to fetch that infos.
Using pgadmin3, postgresql server logs, pg_stat_activity or even wireshark,
which is for catching network traffic, is a little bit strange.



 ... if something has to be fixed it has a chance to be in time for version
 2.6 
 (due in 2 weeks).

Thanks

walter

[Qgis-developer] Trouble with PostGis plugin

2014-10-09 Thread walter.nordmann
Hi,
Running Qgis 2.4 on Ubuntu 14.4

i'm using (or better try to use) the PostGis-Plugin on a really big database
(full osm Planet with Tables countaining 5-100 millions of datarecords)

First: when adding a PostGis Layer Filter, the plugin is doing a query to
get the geometry of the Objects and this Query runs extremly long (30-60
Minutes). And this happens everytime i change a little bit (even only the
color of something.)

Is there a way, to tune that? All usual indexes of this OSM-Tables exist.

Second: Is there a way to monitor (see) the real Queries the Plugin is
sending to the database-server?

now, i'm running whireshark (network monitor) to fetch them! That's awfull.

May be there is a  debugging options which i don't know about. If i have to
i can install 2.5-dev too.

Regards
walter

ps: Yes, may be i should ask that on the user-list. I tried it some months
ago and did not get any good answer.

All the best.
