PostGre SQL 8.3.6 2. Work_mem – 5MB 3. About the connection citgis citgis ... it was my mistake. Is the same database and the same user, I was renaming to dbtest teste only for security ... 4. About the “function loop”. I have a windows service that execute a select (limit 200) each 500ms and after that it calls a PostGre procedure (developed for us). for each row returned in my select.
