Re: [PERFORM] Performance Problem with postgresql 9.03, 8GB RAM,Quadcore Processor Server--Need help!!!!!!!

[Mohamed Hashim]

Hi Sam,Tomas

In my first post i have mentioned all how much shared (shared buffers,
effective cache size, work mem, etc.) and my OS and hardware information
and what are the basic settings i have changed

and regarding Explain analyze i gave one sample query because if i tune
that particular table which has records almost 16crore i thought my problem
will solve...

Regards
Hashim

[Mohamed Hashim]

Hi all,

Thanks for all your responses.

Sorry for late response

Earlier we used Postgres8.3.10 with Desktop computer (as server) and
configuration of the system (I2 core with 4GB RAM) and also the application
was slow  i dint change any postgres config settings.

May be because of low config We thought the aplication is slow so we opted
to go for higher configuration server(with RAID 1) which i mentioned
earlier.

I thought the application will go fast but unfortunately there is no
improvement so i tried to change the postgres config settings and trying to
tune my queries wherever possible but still i was not able
to..improve the performance..


So will it helpful if we try GIST or GIN for integer array[] colum
(source_detail) with enable_seqscan=off and default_statistics_target=1000?

Regards
Hashim

*Similarly i have used the queries on various details pages and views that
too if i go for one month transactions its taking so much times.

I will try to upgrade to latest version and will try to tune more my
queries so changing the conf settings wouldn't help for better performance??

Re: [PERFORM] Performance Problem with postgresql 9.03, 8GB RAM,Quadcore Processor Server--Need help!!!!!!!

[Mohamed Hashim]

Thanks Alban & Gregg.


i will describe little more about that table


   - We are using PHP application with Apache server & Postgresql 9.0.3 in a
   dedicated server.
   - stk_source table is mainly used to track the transactions from parent
   to child

   Table "_100410.stk_source"
Column |   Type|
Modifiers
---+---+-
 source_id | integer   | not null default
nextval('source_id_seq'::regclass)
 stock_id  | integer   |
 source_detail | integer[] |
 transaction_reference | integer   |
 is_user_set   | boolean   | default false


We store transaction_type and transaction_id in source_detail column which
is an interger array for each transactions

We use various functions to get the info based on transaction type

For eg:

In function to get the batch details we have used as

FOR batch_id_rec in select distinct(batch_id) from order_status_batches osb
join batch_status_stock bss on osb.status_id=bss.batch_status_id where
stock_id in (select source_detail[2] from stk_source where stock_id IN
(SELECT
std_i.stock_id

FROM order_details_shipments
ods

JOIN shipment_pack_stock sps ON sps.pack_id=ods.pack_id AND
ods.order_id=sps.order_id AND ods.item_id=sps.item_id
JOIN stock_transaction_detail_106 std ON
std.transaction_id=sps.transaction_id
JOIN stock_transaction_detail_106 std_i ON std.stock_id =
std_i.stock_id AND std_i.transaction_type = 'i'::bpchar
WHERE shipment_item_id=$1 ) and source_detail[1]=3) LOOP

...



..

Similarly we have used in php pages and views

SELECT abd.bill_no as bill_no,to_char(abd.bill_date,'dd/mm/') AS
date,mp.product_desc as product_desc,std.quantity,std.area,rip.price AS
rate,
FROM acc_bill_items_106 abi
JOIN acc_bill_details_106_table abd ON abd.bill_id=abi.bill_id AND
abd.bill_status='act'
JOIN stk_source_table ss ON ss.source_detail[2]=abi.item_id and
ss.source_detail[1]=1
JOIN stock_transaction_detail_106_table std ON std.stock_id=ss.stock_id
JOIN stock_details_106_table sd106 ON sd106.stock_id=std.stock_id
JOIN master_product_106_table mp ON mp.product_id= sd106.product_id
JOIN receipt_item_price_106_table rip ON rip.receipt_item_id=abi.item_id
WHERE abi.bill_id=$bill_id AND std.transaction_type='o'  ;

So where ever we have JOIN or used in functions the performance is very low
some times query returns results takes more than 45 mints.

Normally if we fetch Select * from some_table..it returns very fast
because it has less records.

But when i put Select * from stk_source or to find the actual_cost

EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM stk_source;

i couln't able to retrieve the planner details waited for more than 50 to 60
mints

so question is in spite of having good server with high configuration and
also changed the postgresql configuration settings then why the system is
crawling?


*What are the other parameters have to look out or what are the other config
settings to be change to have the best performance??*

Kindly help to sort out this problem..


Thanks in advance..!!

Regards
Hashim

[Mohamed Hashim]

Actually we are using various views and functions to get the info for
reporting purpose in that views or functions we have used or joined the
above table mentioned.

I thought of will get reply from any one from the lists so only i put anyway
i will continue with only pgsql-performance mailing lists.
