Dear You all, (please tell me if this has already been discussed, I was unable to find any convincing information)
I'm developing a small application, tied to a PG 7.4 beta 5 (i didn't upgrade). The DB i use is roughly 20 tales each of them containing at most 30 records (I'm still in development). I can provide a whole dump if necessary. I access the DB throug IODBC (Suse Linux 8.1), through PHP. The machine everything runs on is 512M of Ram, 2.5GHz speed. So I assume it should be blazingly fast. So here's my trouble : some DELETE statement take up to 1 minute to complete (but not always, sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's that slow). Here's a typical one : DELETE FROM response_bool WHERE response_id = '125' The response_bool table has no foreing key and no index on response_id column. No foreign key reference the response_bool table. There are 6 rows in the table (given that size, I assumed that an index was not necessary). So 1 minute to complete look like I did something REALLY bad. It is my feeling that doing the same query with psql works without problem, but I can't be sure. The rest of my queries (inserts, updates) just work fine and pretty fast. Can someone help me or point me to a place where I can find help ? I didn't do any in deep debugging though. thx, stF ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
