Re: Read write performance check

[veem v <veema0000@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for the confirmation.

 So at first, we need to populate the base tables with the necessary data (say 100million rows) with required skewness using random functions to generate the variation in the values of different data types. Then in case of row by row write/read test , we can traverse in a cursor loop. and in case of batch write/insert , we need to traverse in a bulk collect loop. Something like below and then this code can be wrapped into a procedure and passed to the pgbench and executed from there. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Also can you please guide how the batch(say batch size of ~1000) Insert can be written ? 

-- Row by row write
 FOR i IN 1..total_rows LOOP
        data_row := (SELECT
            md5(random()::TEXT),
            floor(random() * 100)::INT,
            random() * 1000::NUMERIC,
            NOW()::TIMESTAMP
        );
        INSERT INTO BASE_TABLE(column1, column2, column3, column4)
        VALUES (data_row.column1, data_row.column2, data_row.column3, data_row.column4);
    END LOOP;

--Row by row read
BEGIN
    FOR i IN 1..total_rows LOOP
        -- Row by row read
        SELECT * INTO data_row FROM BASE_TABLE WHERE limit 1;
    END LOOP;
END;

-- Batch read
BEGIN
    -- Batch read
    OPEN data_set FOR SELECT * FROM BASE_TABLE LIMIT total_rows;
    CLOSE data_set;
END;

Yes, you are right, pgbench with customized script is what you are looking for

pgbench would work with aurora as with normal postgres, it is
basically a shell script which connects to the database. Not sure if
idea worksheet would help you in such case however, you can run it
just from any machine with pgbench installed


Best regards,
Ilya
