Hi everybody!
I made a little performance test: shape vs. postgis.
I always thought that a select query in a postgresql database with
postgis extension
is much faster than a comparable query inside a Desktop GIS that has
loaded shape-files.
So I compared various queries with shape-files (different sizes and
geometry types) and relations in a postgis database.
The shapes I queried in the Desktop GISs have been converted to a
postgis-layer.
I used Kosmo, Openjump and ArcMap as Desktop GISs.
However the result is the following: PostGIS is always slower than the
Desktop GISs.
I know Openjump is using Quadtrees to index a shape-file, about Kosmo
and ArcMap I have no idea, but I think they use an index too.
And in postgis I build an GiST- index on the queried relations and did a
VACUUM ANALYZE on them.
So why is a (spatial) query in a database slower, than a query of a
shape-file? Can anybody explain this to me?
Anyone with similar experiences?
Perhaps there is something wrong with the "select query" or with the
database's properties?
System: 2,8 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, S-ATA HDD, Windows XP Pro
Software: Postgresql 8.2.5 with PostGIS 1.3
OpenJUMP 1.2 D
ArcMap 9.1
Thanks for your comments.
