Hi all...
I ported a foxpro db to postgres - the foxpro strategy (if this is
not a non-sequitor) was to put everything in one big table...
with no unique constraints on any attr/no p_key.
I had perl iterate thru the dump file prepending an int value to each
tuple - which is now my p_key. Works fine.
Due to the sheer girth of the table the following query, called from
a data entry script, takes a bit of time to finish:
SELECT max(rec_num) FROM crtrd1;
I use this to setup `rec_num + 1' for my query number (p_key)...any
way I can speed this up a bit? I've run vacuum analyze but the
table size is doing me in...
Stuck_In_Staten_Island,
Tom
(thanks ;-)
