Hi,
I have a pentium III server, running on RHL 7.1 with 256 MB RAM,
The following is output of the "top" command for query which involves
fetch from a table with about MAX of 10,000 rows.
-------------------------------------TOP------------------------------ PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU
%MEM TIME COMMAND
3174 postgres 19 0 3328 3328 2672 R 99.0 1.3 0:58 postmaster1199 nobody 9 0 3728 3728 2704 S 0.5
1.4 0:03 httpd3035 root 10 0 1048 1048 840 R 0.3 0.4 0:15 top 1 root 8 0 544 544 472
S 0.0 0.2 0:04 init 2 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 keventd 3 root
Now, my question is, it takes ages(2 mints) for the query to run (regularly
VACUUM ANALYZED Database) and if you look closely at the resources
consumed by the postgres, it is almost taking away 100% CPU time.
How can we make it faster and to consume less resources ??
Can anybody suggest the steps they are taking for time-critical
applications to run efficiently.
Thanks in advance
