I am running a bunch of queries within a function, creating some temp tables and populating them. When the data exceeds say, 100k the queries start getting really slow and timeout (30 min). when these are run outside of a transaction(in auto commit mode), they run in a few seconds. Any ideas on what may be going on and any postgresql.conf parameters etc that might help?
Thanks
Have you tried to analyze temp tables after you've populated them? Because AFAIK it won't do it automatically for tables created, filled and then used in same transaction.
