Thanks!
How large were the tables?
It is in the Performance test report. They contain 2 million records. 6 columns wide, 3 text and 3 numeric. same set of tables used for both tests, after refresh from a file
Did you run all the queries concurrently? At this point, I think it'd be
better to run them separately so that you can look at the impact on each
kind of operation in isolation.
Performance tests are run against a workload and i have taken the workload of a small scale partitioning setup. Running the queries individually has already been done and the count of logical reads have been verified. I have already suggested that. For some reason, i am not able to convince that for simple index scans, Logical reads are a good measure of performance.
What kind of an I/O system does the server have?
Its a normal desktop system. The model no. is ST3400633A, 7200 RPM
It'd be interesting to get the cache hit/miss ratios, as well as the
output of iostat (or similar) during the test. How much of the benefit
is due to reduced random I/O?
Good suggestion. i have run the test against Windows. Let me try perfmon in the next performance test, to monitor the performance test.
What does the numbers look like if the the tables are small enough to
fit in RAM?
I don't know whether this is a valid production setup, against which we need to benchmark. But if you insist, i will do that and get back to you next time.
You should do some tuning, the PostgreSQL default configuration is not
tuned for maximum performance. At least increase checkpoint_segments and
checkpoint_timeout and shared_buffers. Though I noticed that you're
running on Windows; I don't think anyone's done any serious performance
testing or tuning on Windows yet, so I'm not sure how you should tune that.
