Hi Jie,

Yeah, basically gather as many stats as I can to accurately profile the overall system performance. I thought it would be appropriate to use a TPC-H based workload as one measuring stick to use for bitmap indexes.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for doing the test. I checked out the link you provided below. I am a
little confused about the goal of these tests. Do you plan to test the
overall performance of postgreSQL on handling TPC-H queries?

Thanks,
Jie

Hi Heikki and all,

I just sent the latest bitmap index patch to the list. I am not sure if
there is any size limit for this mailing list. If you have received my
previous email, please let me know.
Hi Jie,

I know I said I was going to get testing on this months ago but I've
been juggling between 3 systems due to disk failures and other hardware
configuration issues.  Anyways, I've take a baseline run of only the
power test using a 1GB database with the patch 09-17 patch against a
snapshot of pgsql from 2006-09-17:

Do you think the 1GB scale factor will be sufficient for testing as it
will certainly be faster?  Do you think testing with just a power test
will be sufficient for now?  I really don't have a good reason why I
didn't run a throughput test other than to save time. :)  I also wanted
to get your opinion again on which indexes we will want to try first.

Thanks,
Mark
