Hi,

FYI 8.4 is already unsupported for ~1 year, so you should consider upgrading to a newer release. Also, the newest version in that branch is 8.4.22, so with 8.4.17 you're missing ~1 year of patches.

Postgres DB szie is 900 MB and we are inserting 273 rows at once .and
each row is of 60 bytes.Every time we insert 16380 bytes of data.

So you insert 273 rows and it gets stuck for 40 minutes? That's really strange, and I find it rather unlikely even with a badly misconfigured instance. It should easily insert thousands of rows per second.

Can you elaborate more about the database structure, or at least the table(s) you're inserting into. Are there any foreign keys (in either direction), indexes or triggers?

I tried to make some config changes using above link. But I did not
see any improvement.
I made following changes in postgres.conf file:
shared_buffers = 512MB // It was 32MB
work_mem = 30MB
effective_cache_size = 512MB // I tried with 128MB 256MB also

Please let me know any config changes that I can try out.

I don't think this has anything to do with configuration. This seems like an issue at the application level, or maybe poorly designed schema.

You mentioned you have multiple machines, and only some of them are having this issue. What are the differences between the machines? Are all the machines using the same schema? I assume each has a different amount of data.
