If you run it - before the load is complete, your stats will be wrong. If you run it - after the select statements that hit the table are planned, the - updated stats won't arrive in time to do any good. right, but i'm loading 20 million records in 1000 record increments. so the analyze should affect all subsequent increments, no? - > I did turn on log_min_duration_statement but that caused performance to be unbearable, - > but i could turn it on again if it would help. - - I think you need to find a way to identify exactly which query is - running slowly. You could sit there and run "select * from - pg_stat_activity", or turn on log_min_duration_statement, or have your - application print out timestamps at key points, or some other - method... I'm on it. Dave -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
