Thread: Upgrade from 9.1.6 to 9,1.7 seems to have caused a major slowdown
Dear peoples, Today we upgraded a small (7.5 megabytes) but hyperactive database from postgresql 9.1.6 to 9.1.7 (we use INDEX CONCURRENTLYa lot) and after restarting it looks as if we have a slower system -- fewer queries, but more long ones, fewercheckpoints. I am still manually comparing config settings to see if anything changed (shouldn't have but ...). Has anyone else seen anything like this ? I suspect some site error had led to us scoring an own-goal but I thought I'd ask and see if anyone else has seen this. Thanks, Greg Williamson

However, you may need to perform REINDEX operations to correct problems in concurrently-built indexes, as described in the first changelog item below....." But the 9.1.7 note says nothing about this, even when this version has the same patch for 'CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY' as 9.2.2 Why don't you try to reindex the indexes in your database and see it this helps? regards, - -- Rafael Martinez Guerrero Center for Information Technology University of Oslo, Norway PGP Public Key: http://folk.uio.no/rafael/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlDTGH0ACgkQBhuKQurGihSLbQCeI1J49iLrlGcYJmiWCUnK5g8Y Ca8AnA06l9wEa2fLNRKpzktcgL4AkKBk =ygjT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

But of course it was not postgres at all, just servers that hadn't dealt well with the brief outage. The upgraded instance is performing just as expected. Thanks & sorry for wasting time of the list, wee hours of the morning and a sense of desperation. GW
