JDBC Performance

From
Date:
I am having some performance problems with postgresql and JDBC when it
comes to updates.  If I try and update a record it seems to be taking 1.7
seconds for 100 records or 14 seconds for 500 records.  An insert is only
taking between 3-5 ms/record.  Performance on the updates continue to
decrease until I vacuum analyze the database again.  Is this normal?

Doesn't sound normal! Can you post the schema for the table you are
updating

 pg_dump -s -t tablename dbname

One thing you can try if you are doing bulk updates is to drop the index
before the update, and create it again afterwards

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
    (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

This is typical.  Until you do a vacuum the old versions of a row are
still in the db, so an update has to do an index query on an index to
get to the row that needs indexing, which returns a lot of pointers to
old entries, that then have to be tranversed until the valid one in
found.  Then the update makes one more invalid row.
