Hi all! I had an interesting discussion today w/ an Enterprise DB developer and sales person, and was told, twice, that the 64-bit linux version of Enterprise DB (which is based on the 64-bit version of PostgreSQL 8.1) is SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWER than the 32-bit version. Since the guys of EDB are PostgreSQL ..... has anyone seen that the 64-bit is slower than the 32-bit version?
I was told that the added 32-bits puts a "strain" and extra "overhead" on the processor / etc.... which actually slows down the pointers and necessary back-end "stuff" on the database. I'm curious if anyone can back this up .... or debunk it. It's about the polar opposite of everything I've heard from every other database vendor for the past several years, and would be quite an eye-opener for me. Anyone? Thanks. -- Anthony ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
