dump / restore questions

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

 



I recently dumped and restored a 7.4.2 database. It took 30 minutes for the data to load (6 gig) and 45 for the indexes to be created (3 gig).


Why are the primary keys created after the other indexes? That means that the table data had been evicted from the cache and has to be reloaded.


What is stored in the index files? Why do they take so long to create, and why do they take up 50% of the space of the tables themselves?
