Pg Performers,
This might be a out of the ordinary question, or perhaps I have been out
of the loop for a while but does PostgreSQL (or any other database) have
support for lazy index updates. What I mean by lazy index updates is
index updating which occur at a regular interval rather than per
transaction.
I have found that inserts and updates tend to slow down when the database
gets really big. I think it is likely an effect of updating indexes when
the insert or update occurs.
Looking forward to feedback and possibly direction on my lazy index update
question.
TIA,
Fred
