It takes about the same time.
Since I do not need statistics on every single test (some of them have data that is not suited for statistical analysis), I modified my schema slightly.
Each test which has to be processed for statistics is tagged as such, reducing the amount of data processed.
With our current data set it went down to from about 30 seconds of execution time to about 2 seconds.
Running this new procedure from pgAdmin and psql yielded approximately the same results (about 2 seconds).
I restarted the pgagent service, and with the new stored procedure it is taking the same amount of time as with direct calls from pgadmin or psql.
So, it appears this was somehow a fluke - go figure. I will monitor this, and if I come across the issue again I will repost.
As always, Thanks for your help.
Regads,
Benjamin
That looks straightforward enough - how quickly does it run in psql? That uses PQexec like pgAgent, unlike pgAdmin which uses PQsendQuery (asynchronously)?
