Re: Jdbc/postgres performance - Mailing list pgsql-performance

Hi

I made the following changes to the conf file:

enable_indexscan = true

enable_seqscan = false

We also have a large amount of data being inserted into our tables. I was just wondering if this could have an impact
onthe inserts since I guess this change is on the database. 

Please let me know.

Thanks

Regards

Rohit

Hi Merlin

I have disabled seq-scan and now it works like a charm. Thanks it was a saver.

this is not really a jdbc issue, just a practical problem with prepared statements...except for the mechanism if any
thejdbc driver allows you to choose if a statement is prepared.

you turn off prepared statements by not invoking sql prepare or PQprepare. (or, if jdbc implements its own protocol
client,it's version of PQprepare).

this setting is for 2pc and is not relevent to the discussion :) even if it were, im not so sure about a setting
designedto enforce a partcular method of querying. 

yes, you are correct this is not exactly the use case for hints being discussed in -hackers. however, imho, this is
muchmore important and relevant so long as prepared statements continue to work the way they do.
