Hi, This is a general question around this performance area rather than a specific performance problem.....so I apologise now for a lack of a specific detail. We have an application that does many small actions on the DB – and it’s a small DB (a 50/100 Mbytes) so we would expect it to be contained in memory. Accesses need to be low latency – unfortunately there are “serial” accesses
where the result of one access governs the next. Luckily the work to be done by the DB is, we believe, very simple and hence fast. Everything is running on one (large) server so we use UDS to connect the client to the server. Out observation (suspicion) is that the latency of the access, as opposed to the cost of the query, is high. Having done some investigation we believe the UDS latency may be contributing AND the cost imposed by postgres in “formatting”
the messages between the client and server (transformation to network format?). We will try and get underneath this with real results/measurements but I would appreciate any comments pointers on what we are doing and how/if we can optimise this style of applications Cheers Unless otherwise stated, this email has been sent from Fujitsu Services Limited (registered in England No 96056); Fujitsu EMEA PLC (registered in England No 2216100) both with registered offices at: 22 Baker Street, London W1U 3BW; PFU (EMEA) Limited, (registered in England No 1578652) and Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe Limited (registered in England No. 4153469) both with registered offices at: Hayes Park Central, Hayes End Road, Hayes, Middlesex, UB4 8FE.
