[GENERAL] lo data type

2008-11-20 Thread John Zhang
Hi there,

I am writing to seek your assistance on how to set up the lo data type for
large objects. I am using postres 3.3. By default, the data type lo is not
created by the installation, right? How to create one? Any input would be
much appreciated. Thanks.

John


[GENERAL] Fwd: Performance Tuning

2008-11-17 Thread John Zhang
Hi the list,

I have a performance problem and would like to any input on how to make it
perform as desired. In the DB, there are a few tables over 3 million records
in postgis. When I do some operation on the tables, e.g. CREATE INDEX, it
takes hours without results. I believe there must be something wrong within
the DB. However, I have not figured it out. Could anyone point me to the
right direction to tune and configured the database efficiently?

Thanks in advance
John
