Do you know if check_postgresql.pl can run on windows (with perl installed)? Because our postgres installation is running on a Windows 2008 R2 server but can't find any tool like this for windows :( Thanks! -----Mensaje original----- De: Scott Marlowe [mailto:scott.marlowe@xxxxxxxxx] Enviado el: sábado, 10 de septiembre de 2011 02:30 p.m. Para: Anibal David Acosta CC: pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Asunto: Re: should i expected performance degradation over time On Sat, Sep 10, 2011 at 10:55 AM, Anibal David Acosta <aa@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Sometimes I read that postgres performance is degraded over the time > and something people talk about backup and restore database solve the problem. > > It is really true? Yes and no. If you let things get out of hand, a backup and restore may be your best choice. > I have postgres 9.0 on a windows machine with The autovacuum is ON Good start > Transactional table has about 4 millions of rows inserted per day. > > In the midnight all rows are moved to a historical table and in the > historical table rows are about 2 months, any transaction older than 2 > months are deleted daily. You should look into table partitioning then. but as long as vacuum keeps up you're probably still ok. Look at the check_postgresql.pl script by the same guy who wrote Bucardo. It'll keep you advised of how much bloat your tables have. > So, my question is, if Should I expect same performance over time (example: > after 1 year) or should I expect a degradation and must implements > come technics like backup restore every certain time? If you maintain your db properly, performance should stay good. If you ignore bloat issues you might have some issues. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
