Dear PostgreSQL Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to seek your technical assistance regarding a performance issue
weencountered after upgrading our PostgreSQL version from 12.19 to 16.3.
We have noticed a significant performance problem with a specific SQL query on one of our application screens.
Interestingly, when we isolate the problematic SQL statement and replace its parameters with actual values, it executes
injust a few seconds in pgAdmin.
However, when we run the same SQL query through our application using Npgsql, it takes over ten minutes to complete.
We are using NpgsqlCommand.ExecuteReader to execute the SQL query, and the parameters are set using
NpgsqlCommand.Parameters.Add.
The main table involved in this query contains approximately 800,000 records.
We believe that the SQL statement itself does not have performance issues, but there may be problems related to how the
SQLis executed in the application or how the parameters are set.
However, we are unable to pinpoint the exact cause of the performance degradation.
Could you please provide us with some possible reasons or suggestions for improvement? Your insights would be greatly
appreciated.
Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Ma
