Hi, An application server does a lot of small inserts on several tables (kind of users activity logging) in my database. These inserts are creating a lot of (if not the most of) the traffic on the server. The server has a hot standby replica working through a very slow channel between them. When the amount of this inserts increases the master does not manage to send such a big stream of changes (because of the low bandwidth) to the replica in time and the lag between them grows up dramatically. Would it be more compact from the point of view of streaming replication if we make the application accumulate changes and do one COPY instead of lots of INSERTS say once a minute? And if it will be so how to estimate the effect approximately? PostgreSQL version is 9.0.4 on both servers. If you need more specifics about the configuration just let me know what exactly. Thank you very much in advance. -- Sergey Konoplev Blog: http://gray-hemp.blogspot.com LinkedIn: http://ru.linkedin.com/in/grayhemp JID/GTalk: gray.ru@xxxxxxxxx Skype: gray-hemp -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
