Can't speak to tsearch2 in specific but I have learned to be very cautious -- caching does indeed make a noticible difference on this sort of thing, especially if you have enough RAM to hold a significant amount of the data. Either keep changing the query target or do something violent to wipe t

Kris, could you post 'explain analyze' output ? Also, could you disable index usage (set enable_indexscan=off) and rerun search using tsearch2 ? also, could you run 'stat' function to see frequency distribution of words. See http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/oddmuse/index.cgi/Tsearch_V2_Notes for det

2004-09-24 Thread Goulet, Dick
Given the "fun" I've had with Sql*Server and it's sister Access, you'd be much better off porting things manually. I'd precreate all of the tables/indexes and then move the data with the aid of Access or a similar ODBC tool. As for the rest, re-write it as Tsql is more like VB than pgplsql. D
