Re: what's the slowest part in the SQL - Mailing list pgsql-performance

Not really, the server has 2 GB memory (PROD is a lot more than this dev box), so the table should be able to fit in
memoryif we preload them.
 

MemTotal:        2049572 kB

dev=# select pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('data'));
 pg_size_pretty
----------------
 141 MB
(1 row)

Time: 2.640 ms

dev=# select pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('order'));
 pg_size_pretty
----------------
 516 MB
(1 row)

Thanks,

pg_prewarm is not going to magically fix things if your table is bigger
than RAM, which it apparently is.
