Re: very slow largeobject transfers through JDBC

So I have detailed profiling results now. Basically it takes very long that for each blob, the JDBC driver reads from the socket then it creates the byte array on the Java side. Then it reads the next blob, etc. I guess this takes many network roundtrips.

It seems this is a JDBC-level problem. I understand that the absolute timing is not meaningful at all because you don't know how large the resultset is, but I can tell that this is only a few thousands rows + few thousand largeobjects, each largeobject is around 1 kByte. (Yes I know this is not a proper use of LOBs -- it's a legacy db structure that's hard to change.)Thanks.MateOn Mon, Sep 3, 2018 at 11:52 AM Mate Varga <m@matevarga.net> wrote:Hey,we'll try to test this with pure JDBC versus hibernate.

One interesting bit is that turning of SSL between the app and PSQL speeds up things by at least 50%.Ah, one addition -- the binary objects are encrypted, so their entropy is very high.Any chance you could write a simple non-hibernate test code to time the code ?MateOn Sun, Sep 2, 2018 at 12:55 AM Dave Cramer <pg@fastcrypt.com> wrote:On Fri, 31 Aug 2018 at 10:15, Mate Varga <m@matevarga.net> wrote:I see -- we could try that, though we're mostly using an ORM (Hibernate) to do this.

If I'm copying the data to a file from the psql console, then it takes X time (e.g. a second), fetching it through the JDBC driver takes at least 10x more. We don't see this difference between JDBC and 'native' performance for anything except largeobjects (and bytea columns, for the record).

I don't know what a reason of that, but I think it's reasonable and
quite simple to call lo_import()/lo_export() via JNI.Can't imagine that's any faster. The driver simply implements the protocolDo you have any code to share ? Any other information ?Is the JDBC connection significantly further away network wise ?
