Re: delete taking long time - Mailing list pgsql-sql

I agree with Andreas (indexes) - 10 minutes to delete 10k rows is about 9.5
minutes too long.
Either the "select" part of the query can't find the rows quickly or the FK
burden is crushing the life out of it.

If every involved table has an index on their Primary Key then the 10k row
delete should take
maybe 30-60 seconds.  Highly dependent on how many FK rows are involved.

And...from a db design perspective, a table referenced by 7 FKs shouldn't be
having this type
of delete run against it...it's just too expensive if it must happen
routinely.  This is where
de-normalization might be called for, to collapse some of those references,
or a shift to
stored functions that maintain integrity versus the declared foreign keys
maintaining it.

there is no index on the ts-column.

i guess there are no indexes for this tables and the relevant columns

create the missing indexes now and come back with the new duration.
