adding a column takes FOREVER!

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

 



All,

I'm adding a column in postgres 8.3 with the syntax:  alter table images add column "saveState" varchar(1) default '0';  It takes a good solid 20 minutes to add this column to a table with ~ 14,000 entries.  Why so long?  Is there a way to speed that up?  The table has ~ 50 columns.

Thanks,
Eric
