Hi I made the following changes to the conf file: enable_indexscan = true enable_seqscan = false We also have a large amount of data being inserted into our tables. I was just wondering if this could have an impact on the inserts since I guess this change is on the database. Please let me know. Thanks Regards Rohit ________________________________ From: Rohit_Behl Sent: Wed 18/10/2006 11:10 To: Merlin Moncure Cc: pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [PERFORM] Jdbc/postgres performance Hi Merlin I have disabled seq-scan and now it works like a charm. Thanks it was a saver.

Is there any other option outside of this setting is for 2pc and is not relevent to the discussion :) even if it were, im not so sure about a setting designed to enforce a partcular method of querying. yes, you are correct this is not exactly the use case for hints being discussed in -hackers. however, imho, this is much more important and relevant so long as prepared statements continue to work the way they do. merlin **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
