Well, 8.1+ will create an on-the-fly bitmap for x=1 AND y=2 type of queries.

What were you thinking for ORing?

Hi,

I have a PL/pgsql function that creates a certain bit string
based on the parameters. Things work fine if I use bit(10)
throughout the function. Now I'd like to return a bit string 
with the given size "len", but that breaks with a syntax error:


ret := B'0'::bit(len);
LINE 1: SELECT  B'0'::bit( $1 )
   ^

Any suggestion how to return a (bit) string 
of user-defined length ?


Hmm - not sure it's possible (even theoretically) for a function to have 
multiple return types. Could you return a "bit varying" and cast it when 
received?

Morning

I currently use DB2 on an AIX 5.2 p5 platform 7gb ram for log analytics
with heavy OLAP querying.

Index ANDing in DB2 allows for multiple indexes to be used in joins. I'm
not sure of the ORing function yet.


That's what 8.1+ support. The bitmap is in-memory though.


DB2 does not really allow for WAL to be turned off. Consequently the max
throughput on queries I have been able to achieve is 367 inserts a
second. This is on shark disk not local. That number was achieved with 3
log imports running at once.


Hmm - with battery-backed write-cache on the disks I'd expect better 
than that. Let's see - 367 inserts/sec * 60 =~ 22000 / 3 =~ 7000 inserts 
/min (assuming 1 log). You should be able to do better than that with 
decent disks.



I'm looking for a solution that allows me to turn WAL on or off
depending on need. 


I'm not sure what the connection is, but PostgreSQL doesn't allow WAL to 
be turned off. You can turn off fsync, but you can only change this when 
you restart postgresql.

Keep in mind that 2/3 of the inserts are actual log entries. 1/3 are for

The table is a "star" table.

You are correct tho in terms of time.. When I did the same application
with fpc pascal (http://www.freepascal.org) and MS SQL 2000 I averaged
over 700 inserts a second on a Compaq DL380 with 2 gb ram and dual 1.3
ghz processors. 15000 rpm scsi hard drives in a raid 5 config. 


The different there is MS SQL 2000 allows transaction logging to be
turned off. I think the transaction logging presents a "speed bump"


If you can batch things into transactions of 2+ inserts (up to say 5000) 
you'll find things go much faster. The limiting factor should be (as you 
say) the speed of committing the transaction log.


Failing that, try having the WAL on its own disks, with battery-backed 
write cache too.


Failing that, you can turn fsync off, but don't complain if the power 
fails and your database gets corrupted.

[SQL] Removing duplicate rows

2007-02-06 Thread Paul Lambert
I have some tables which I need to load from flat data files that can 
contain upwards of five million rows.


It's possible (owing to the structure of the system the data is 
originating from) that on occasion the data extract that generates these 
flat files can include two records that have the same values in the 
fields that make up the primary key of the table in my Postgres 
database, thus throwing an error when I attempt to load.


I'm assuming the best way to get around this is to load the data into a 
temporary table with "copy from" and then do a "select distinct into" my 
real table.


The question I have is the best way to set up this temporary table in my 
 reload script. (Having 14 servers running Postgres, each with 37 
tables, I don't want to be creating temporary tables manually each time 
I need to reload the databases)


As the table definitions get updated frequently, I'd like to put in my 
script to create the table as a copy of the existing 'real' table. I'm 
assuming "create table as" would be what I need to use, but what would I 
use as the select sql - i.e. how do I use select to pull the definition 
of a table.


Apologies if this is a stupid question, I'm still fairly new to Postgres 
so I'm not sure what system tables are available for pulling out this 
kind of information.


Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Regards,
Paul.

You might find that sort|uniq at the command prompt would be better. 
That said,

an easy way to do this is "CREATE TABLE name AS SELECT . . . WHERE
1=0".  You get a table with no rows.  (WHERE FALSE and similar
constructs all work equally well.)

Thanks... I figured it would be blatantly obvious.

This does the trick:
CREATE TABLE billing_code_temp AS SELECT * FROM billing_code WHERE 1=0

The create statement allows you to copy a table structure, including or 
excluding constraints.
For inclusion and exclusion effects, please read the manual info related 
with the 'like' clause of the 'create table' statement.


Ex.:
create temporary table mytesttable (like mymaintable excluding constraints 
excluding defaults);

You can get all (or most?) of the *nix/GNU commandline tools for Windows as 
well. As "native" Win32 programs that do not require a pseudo *nix (aka as
