Postgres 8.1 performance rocks (compared with 8.0) specially with the use in-memory index bitmaps. Complex queries that used to take 30+ minutes, it takes now a few minutes to complete in 8.1. Many thanks to the all wonderful developers for the huge 8.1 performance boost. --- Husam Tomeh -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-performance-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-performance-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tom Lane Sent: Sunday, December 11, 2005 12:39 PM To: Pål Stenslet Cc: pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [PERFORM] Should Oracle outperform PostgreSQL on a complex multidimensional query? Perhaps you should be trying this on PG 8.1? In any case, without specific details of your schema or a look at EXPLAIN ANALYZE results, it's unlikely that anyone is going to have any useful comments for you. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster ********************************************************************** This message contains confidential information intended only for the use of the addressee(s) named above and may contain information that is legally privileged.
