Thread: Transaction speed

Transaction speed

From
"Derrick Betts"
Date:
I have the following situation:
 
Test database inside our network, accessed with pgAdminIII version 1.0.2.
    When I INSERT records into a table (3000-5000 in one transaction) it takes between 2.5 - 5 seconds.  No worries there.
 
Production database that is hosted remotely, accessed with pgAdminIII version 1.0.2.
    When I INSERT records into a table (only 500 or so) it never completes (I've waited for 30 minutes before).  It will take a transaction of up to 200 statements, but it takes 3-5 minutes.
 
Has anyone seen this situation before, and have a reason as to why this may be happening?  Is there something that needs to change on the production server?  Is it a tcpip latency issue that breaks the connection? (I'm guessing now)
 
Thanks in advance,
Derrick

Missing index or so?
Apparently this is no pgadmin3 related problem, you'd probably get 
better help on pgsql-performance or so.
