Re: [PERFORM] Savepoint performance

2006-07-27 Thread Denis Lussier
My understanding of EDB's approach is that our prototype just implicitly does a savepoint before each INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement inside of PLpgSQL. We then rollback to that savepoint if a sql error occurs. I don 't believe our prelim approach changes any transaction start/end semantics

Hi,   We've a fedora core 3 box with PostgreSQL 8.0.   There is some performance problems with the server and I discovered with vmstat tool that there is some process writing a lot of information in the disk subsystem.   I stopped the database and even so vmstat showed the same rates of disk write
