please help understand freeing shared buffers

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

 



Among following queries, only THREE runs fast enough for me.

I can't understand the logic behind this.

I once thought that shared buffers replacement is independent from
whether the backend which used it is still alive. But is it true?

Seems like shared buffers are  "returned to the pool" or "freed" just
after client disconnects?



$ cat test.sh
sql="explain (analyze,buffers) select getlocationid_faster2('New
York','10003','NY','US',40.73,-73.99);"
psql="psql -X dev postgres"
echo ONE
echo $sql | $psql
echo TWO THREE
echo $sql $sql | $psql
echo FOUR
echo $sql | $psql


$ . test.sh
