We are running 9.6.8-10 on our five postgres clusters.
We have ~25 database per cluster.
We have two servers that update a table in each database.
During the update process we were running a pgpsql function that
calculated the difference in the new value with the previous. This
function would do a SELECT to get the previous value from the table and
do the calculation before the UPDATE. We also have an AFTER TRIGGER to
save the row into a logging table.
We recently changed the process to do a BEFORE TRIGGER to do the
calculation between OLD and NEW instead of the separate function with
the SELECT.
So what was the exact change?
After doing this, CPU on our two client servers went crazy. CPU on the
database servers look unchanged. Rolling back this change fixed our
client CPU issue.
What is the client server and what is it doing?
Anyone know of a reason why this change would affect the client? I
would think that this would only affect the server side. I could not
see any messages printed out anywhere in logs showing any type of error.
Thanks,
