Re: Benchmarking partitioning triggers and rules

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

 



I am using postgres 9.4, the default install with "brew install postgres, no tuning at all.  BTW if I use postgres.app application the benchmarks run twice as slow!

Why do you think there is such dramatic difference between

EXECUTE  'INSERT INTO ' ||  quote_ident(partition_name) ||  ' SELECT ($1).*' USING NEW ;

and

 EXECUTE  'INSERT INTO ' ||  quote_ident(partition_name) ||  ' VALUES( ($1).*)' USING NEW ;

One is thirty percent faster than the other.  Also is there an even better way that I don't know about.

I think to actually give you a meaningful response, we really need more
details about your configuration - what PostgreSQL version are you
using, what configuration have you changed from the defaults and such.

Anyway, you're right that triggers are not cheap. The numbers I get on
the development version with a bit of tuning look like this:

INSERT (direct)    1.5 sec
INSERT             4.0 sec
INSERT (EXECUTE)  11.5 sec

So it's ~ what you've measured. Rules have the lowest overhead, but also
there's a lot of tricky places.

There's not much you can do, except for inserting the data directly into
the right partition (without any triggers).
