Hi,
I must be doing something silly. I have a 900MHz, 384MB RAM, and this thing is slow. (Postgresql-7.1.2). And growing exponencially slower. SQL: http://John.Vicherek.com/slow/schema.sql (save to /tmp/schema.sql) am.dat: http://John.Vicherek.com/slow/am.dat (save to /tmp/am.dat ) perl: http://John.Vicherek.com/slow/rpm2filerian.pl (save to /tmp/rpm2filerian.pl) when I do : createdb filerian psql -d filerian -f /tmp/schema.sql echo 'create table times (the_moment datetime, the_number int4);' | psql -d filerian cd /tmp/mdk/8.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS # lots of RPMs here while sleep 10 ; do echo 'insert into times values( now(), count(file.id));' | psql -d filerian ; done 2>&1 >/dev/null & for i in *.rpm ; do echo $i ; perl /tmp/rpm2filerian.pl 0 $i ; done Why are the times so bad ? Why is it slowing so fast ? Am I missing any useful indeces ? This shows the slowage: select the_number,min(the_moment) from times group by the_number; PS: if you look in the perl code for "exec", immediatelly above will you find the query it is doing.
