Hi,
I have an update that takes longer than expected and wondered if
there's an easy way to make it go faster.
It's pretty simple:-
create table session (
id serial primary key,
data text);
update session
set data = 'ipsum lorem...'
where id = 5;
The "ipsum lorem.." stuff is an encrypted session variable from a
rails app that does tend to get quite large
select avg(length(data)) from session
=> 31275
We're trying to migrate the app from mysql to pg and this is one of
the performance bottle-necks. Unfortunately it slows down every
request by about 5 seconds. MySQL (both MyISAM and InnoDB) does this
almost instantaneously.
Cheers,
Andy
