Hello,
I have just installed PostGreSql 8.1 on my Windows XP PC. I created a
simple table called users with 4 varchar fields.
I am using the OleDb connection driver. In my .NET application, I populate
3000 records into the table to test PostGreSql's speed. It takes about 3-4
seconds.
Even worse is displaying the 3000 records in a ListView control. It takes
about 7 seconds. In MySQL, the exact same table and application displays
the same 3000 records in under 1/2 second!!!
Have you vacuumed recently? This smells like it might be a table bloat
problem.
This could be a lot of things...
He is probably running the default postgresql.conf which is going to
perform horribly.
What is your work_mem? shared_buffers?
Are you passing a where clause? If so is there an index on the field
that is subject to the clause?
When you do the population, is it via inserts or copy?
