Thread: query becomes much slower after Postgres 8.2.4 and Postgis 1.2.1 upgrade

We had the following upgrades last week:

proj-4.4.9 to proj-4.5.0
geos-2.2.1 to geos-2.2.3
Postgis 1.1.1 to Postgis 1.2.1,
then
Postgres 8.1.4 to 8.2.4


After the entire upgrades, a same query with geospatial functions that used to come back in a few minutes, now take about 3 minutes to finish, no erors, just much slower than before.

Has any one seen this performance issue after the upgrade before?

Thanks a lot,
Jessica

It can happen, yes. If it's a PostGIS-specific query I suggest you post
to the PostGIS list asking for help about it. If it's not
PostGIS-specific you should post the query and EXPLAIN ANALYZE output
from both versions to pgsql-performance.

The standard first question is "did you remember to re-ANALYZE your
tables after reloading into the new database"?
