I'm working on a project, whose implementation deals with PostgreSQL. A brief description of our application is given

I'm running version 8.0 on a dedicated  server 1Gb of RAM.

I have to notify that the performance of is extremely variable and irregular.
I can also see that the server process uses almost 100% of
a CPU.

I'm using the default configuration file, and i m asking if i have to change some paramters to have a good
performance.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think the problem here is that the column order in the index doesn't
match the columns used in the WHERE clause criteria. Try adding an index
on (domain,principalid) or (domain,principalid,timestamp). If these are
your only queries, you can get the same effect by re-ordering the
columns in the table so that this is the column order used by the
primary key and its implicit index.

You should check up on EXPLAIN and EXPLAIN ANALYZE to help you debug
slow queries.

please execute

EXPLAIN ANALYZE <your query>
and show the results, is the only way to know what's happening

Hi,
I created an index into the cookies table
CREATE INDEX index_cookies_select ON cookies (domain, principalid,
timestamp);
and execute my UPDATE and select queries:

1 - The first select quey give the following results:

icap=# EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT path, upper(name) AS name, value FROM
cookies WHERE timestamp>CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AND
principalid='192.168.8.219' AND secure=FALSE AND
(domain='ping.icap-elios.com' OR domain='.icap-elios.com');

            
QUERY
PLAN

((principalid)::text = '192.168.8.219'::text) AND ("timestamp" > now()))
OR ((("domain")::text = '.icap-elios.com'::text) AND
((principalid)::text = '192.168.8.219'::text) AND ("timestamp" > now())))
   Filter: (("timestamp" > now()) AND (NOT secure))
   ->  BitmapOr  (cost=4.02..4.02 rows=1 width=0) (actual

               Index Cond: ((("domain")::text =
'ping.icap-elios.com'::text) AND ((principalid)::text =
'192.168.8.219'::text) AND ("timestamp" > now()))

 Total runtime: 0.155 ms
(9 rows)

2- After that, i launch my test code  that execute continuely the UPDATE
and select queries (in loop manner), after 1 minute of continuous
execution, i obtain the following result:
icap=# EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT path, upper(name) AS name, value FROM
cookies WHERE timestamp>CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AND
principalid='192.168.8.219' AND secure=FALSE AND
(domain='ping.icap-elios.com' OR domain='.icap-elios.com');

            
QUERY

AND ((principalid)::text = '192.168.8.219'::text) AND ("timestamp" > now()))
 Total runtime: 39.616 ms
(9 rows)

I notice that the time execution increases significantly.  and i need
the vacuum query to obtain normal time execution:


3- After vacuum execution:
icap=# vacuum cookies;
VACUUM
icap=# EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT path, upper(name) AS name, value FROM
cookies WHERE timestamp>CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AND
principalid='192.168.8.219' AND secure=FALSE AND
(domain='ping.icap-elios.com' OR domain='.icap-elios.com');

  In general the answer is yes.  The default is a pretty good best guess
  at what sorts of values work for your "typical system", but if you run
  into performance problems the config file is where you should look
  first, provided you've done the simple things like adding good
  indexes, vacumm analyze, etc.

  You'll want to consult the following various documentation out there
  to help your properly tune your configuration:

  http://www.varlena.com/varlena/GeneralBits/Tidbits/perf.html
  http://www.powerpostgresql.com/Docs
  http://www.powerpostgresql.com/PerfList
  http://www.revsys.com/writings/postgresql-performance.html

  Hopefully these will help you understand how to set your configuration
  values.
