Hello...
Our company is going to change SQL engine from MySQL to PSQL. Of course some
performance problems occured. Our server is Dual Xeon 3.0GHz + 8GB RAM +
RAID1(software - two 146GB SCSI 15k) for sql data + RAID1(software - two
146GB SCSI 15k) for pg_xlog. Postgres.conf parameters are as follows:
max_connections = 150
shared_buffers = 50000 # min 16, at least max_connections*2, 8KB each
work_mem = 2048 # min 64, size in KB
maintenance_work_mem = 524288 # min 1024, size in KB
checkpoint_segments = 32 # in logfile segments, min 1, 16MB each
archive_command = 'cp "%p" /mnt/logs/"%f"' # command to use to
archive a logfile segment
effective_cache_size = 655360 # typically 8KB each
random_page_cost = 1.2 # units are one sequential page fetch cost
stats_start_collector = true
stats_row_level = true
Of course our system is Debian Sarge with Shared memory size = 1GB
Here is an example:
.... I know you don't have our schemas/tables etc. but I also attached QUERY
PLAN for such query. Maybe there is something wrong with this query maybe it
should be changed? or so?

I now .... query plan is not very readable but .... as you can see only one
seq scan occured for field "ulica" in table "adres" .... on the rest Index
scan were used. I'm rather new and really don't know how to interpret and
what are they mean: Merge Left Join? How to read actual time in each row ow
query plan.... and why this query takes about 3 second to receive 25 records
when on MySQL it takes only 0.14sec.? All indexes are made - the same indexes
on mysql and postgresql. What is the cause of such big difference?
Many thanks for response....
