Re: Query taking long time

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

First of all I'd like to thank all of you for taking your time and help me with this. Thank you very much.

I did migrate the database to the new server with 32 processors Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2670 0 @ 2.60GHz  and 60GB of RAM. 
Evegeny pointed that the disks I am using are not fast enough (For data: 00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation C600/X79 series chipset SATA RAID Controller (rev 05); and for logging a SAS disk but with only 240GB available, database is 365GB...). I cannot change the locations of data and log since there's not enough space for the data in the SAS disk.  Sadly this is a problem that I cannot solve any time soon...

The migration had really improved the performance
I paste the before and after (the migration) explain analyze, buffers(if aplicable due to server versions)

BEFORE:
explain analyze select * from (select * from entity2document2  where name='Acetaminophen' ) as a  order by a.hepval;
                                                                  QUERY PLAN

 explain (analyze,buffers) select * from (select * from entity2document2  where name='Acetaminophen' ) as a  order by a.hepval;
                                                                   QUERY PLAN

The improve is definitely good!!.

I'm doing right now the CLUSTER on the table using the name+hepval multiple index as Venkata told me and will post you if it works. 
Anyway, even though the improvement is important, I'd like an increase of the performance. When the number of rows returned is high, the performance decreases too much.. 

If anyone have any idea...

Best regards,
Andrés

Hello,

new server with more ram will definitely help to keep your working set in memory.
But if you want your queries be fast on cold (on disk) data, then you need more/faster disks.

And work_mem = 1000MB is too much, better set to 32MB so you don’t get OOM Killer.
And may be slightly lower shared_buffers.

Hello,

I cannot do explain (analyze, buffers) since I am on 8.3 postgres version.
I am migrating to the new server and upgrading it.
Once it is ready again I will post the explain query here.
The new disk is SATA disk with 5TB, raid 0 or 1...
lspci | grep -i raid
00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation C600/X79 series chipset SATA RAID Controller (rev 05)

All database is 200GB and the table entity2document2 is 

x=> select pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('entity2document2'));
 pg_size_pretty 
----------------
 11 GB
(1 row)

x=> select pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('entity2document2'));
 pg_size_pretty 
----------------
 29 GB
(1 row)

The index of the name column:
x=> select pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('entity2document2_name'));
 pg_size_pretty 
----------------
 2550 MB
(1 row)


I am tunning the new server with this parameters...
shared_buffers = 15000MB
work_mem = 1000MB
maintenance_work_mem = 2000MB

Any other parameter that should be modified?

Thank you for your help!

Hello Andres,
                       with enable_bitmapscan=off;   could you do :

explain ( analyze , buffers ) select * from entity2document2  where name='ranitidine' ;

I think it's interesting to understand how much it's clustered the table  entity2document2.
infact the query extract 13512 rows in 79945.362 ms around 4 ms for row, and I suspect the table is not well clustered on that column, so every time the
process is asking for a different page of the table or the i/o system have some problem.

Moreover, another point it's : how much it's big ? the rows are arounf 94M , but how much it's big ?  it's important the average row length


Have a nice day

Hello Mat,

Setting enable_bitmapscan to off doesn't really helps. It gets worse...

x=> SET enable_bitmapscan=off; 
SET
x=> explain analyze select * from (select * from entity2document2  where name='ranitidine' ) as a  order by a.hepval;
