Hello all, Old servers that housed 7.4 performed better than 8.1.4 version...are there any MAJOR performance hits with this version??? I set the postgresql.conf setting to equal that of 7.4 and queries still run SLOW on 8.1.4... I have perform maintenance tonight on the 8.1.4 server - any ideas what actions I should take??? default stats set to 50 (in postgresql.conf) 1) Restart instance 2) Dump \ reload database 3) vacuum analyze 4) rebuild index database I keep doing these same steps and nothing seems to work...I've read where some are saying to VACUUM several times - then reindex (???) Can someone tell me what they do during a NORMAL maintenance window on their servers??? All this is NEW to me. Thanks, Michelle. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Upgraded-from-7.4-to-8.1.4-QUERIES-NOW-SLOW%21%21%21-tf4489502.html#a12803859 Sent from the PostgreSQL - performance mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
