Re: Append table

Any luck on appending two table in PostgreSQL.
Below are two table with same schema that have different values. In this case EmpID is unique value.
 
tabelA
------------
EmpId (Int) EmpName (String)
1               Hanu
2               Alvaro
 
 
tabelB
------------
EmpId (Int) EmpName (String)
3               Michal
4               Tom
 
 
I would be looking below output after appending tableA with tableB. Is this possible in PostgreSQL?

 
tabelA
------------
EmpId (Int) EmpName (String)
1               Hanu
2               Alvaro
3               Michal
4               Tom

 

Thanks,
Hanu

I think you are misunderstanding the importance of vacuuming the table.
Try this: on a different terminal from the one running the test, run a
VACUUM on the updated table with vacuum_cost_delay set to 20, on an
infinite loop.  Keep this running while you do your update test.  Vary
the vacuum_cost_delay and measure the average/min/max UPDATE times.
Also try putting a short sleep on the infinite VACUUM loop and see how
its length affects the UPDATE times.

One thing not clear to me is if your table is in a clean state.  Before
running this test, do a TRUNCATE and import the data again.  This will
get rid of any dead space that may be hurting your measurements.
