Thread: Transaction speed

Transaction speed

From
"Derrick Betts"
Date:
I have the following situation:
 
Test database inside our network, accessed with pgAdminIII.
    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.
    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

This has got to be something about how pgAdmin handles batch inserts.   I
suggest trying the pgAdmin mailing list.
