Help calculating load values

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I need some help calculating how much activity a query causes.

If I have a table defined as:
create table test_a (
  col1 integer,
  col2 char(1),
  col3 varchar(35),
  primary key (col1,col2)
) with oids;

When I do an "insert into test_a values (1,'a','test data');", does this generate 3 writes (1 to table, 1 to index, and one to oid counter)  and one read (get oid from oid counter)? 

What about when I do an "update test_a set col3='changed data' where col1 = 1 and col2 = 'a';"?  I am thinking 5 writes (1 to old table tuple, 1 to old index tuple, 1 to oid counter, 1 to new table tuple, one to new index tuple) with 1 read (get oid from oid counter)?

Finally, what about the delete "delete from test_a where col1=1 and col2='a';"?  2 writes (1 to table tuple, and 1 to index tuple)?

I am just trying to get a grasp on how much traffic I am creating for each major dml statement we issue so that I can work with my sysadmin on some i/o issues.

Thanks,

Chris
