Thread: can I show number of records returned by a query in a log?

can I show number of records returned by a query in a log?

Hello,

I'm trying to capture amount of data moving from client app to the server &
back.
The client is executable (c#) gue on windows,  server is lunix centOS,
PostgreSQL 8.4.
We see serious  performance difference between execution via LAN & VPN.

I enabled the logging  and used  pgFouine to analyzed the logs and it looks
very strange - 2000-3000 queries in 10 min.

In one case I see the client (user is the client dbuser) query  "select *
from vw_abc"  sent 10 times in 1 sec ( timestamp is the same), is it realy
10 times or it was logged 10 times ?

I see 900 queries sent by 1 client in 7 min with 1 click on the screen -
does the log show the real thing?


Is it possible to log the number of records returned by that query?


thank you.
Helen

The logs show the real thing.  Gotta love ORMs.

I doubt the record count or data volume is the problem. It's more likely the
latency cost of sending 900 queries one at a time and waiting for the replies
at VPN latencies.

I don't know how to log the result record count, though, maybe someone else
does.

The VPN usually suck when it comes to a performance. Do some basic testing
at the network level - ping with/without VPN, throughput and you'll see
the difference. This is not a problem of the database, it's the
environment.

Yes, the log shows the real thing. Have you checked the log directly or
just the output of pgfounie? Theoretically there could be a bug in
pgfounie, repeating some of the queries, but I consider that highly
unlikely.

Currently there's no such option. But it's possible to write a simple
extension that would do that - actually pg_stat_statements does that.

Thank you all,

I did look at the log , I enabled  pg_stat_statements , however it showed
the buffers, scans and  other info about the query execution  - not the
records number, any idea how can I get it?


I agree that the problem is in qty of the queries,
will investigate the client.

thank you.
