Thread: How can I speed up this function?
We have the following function in our home grown mirroring package, but it isn't running as fast as we would like. We need to select statements from the pending_statement table, and we want to select all the statements for a single transaction (pending_trans) in one go (that is, we either select all the statements for a transaction, or none of them). We select as many blocks of statements as it takes to top the 100 statement limit (so if the last transaction we pull has enough statements to put our count at 110, we'll still take it, but then we're done). Here is our function: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dbmirror.get_pending() RETURNS SETOF dbmirror.pending_statement AS $BODY$ DECLARE count INT4; transaction RECORD; statement dbmirror.pending_statement; BEGIN count := 0; FOR transaction IN SELECT t.trans_id as ID FROM pending_trans AS t WHERE fetched = false ORDER BY trans_id LIMIT 50 LOOP update pending_trans set fetched = true where trans_id = transaction.id; FOR statement IN SELECT s.id, s.transaction_id, s.table_name, s.op, s.data FROM dbmirror.pending_statement AS s WHERE s.transaction_id = transaction.id ORDER BY s.id ASC LOOP count := count + 1; RETURN NEXT statement; END LOOP; IF count > 100 THEN EXIT; END IF; END LOOP; RETURN; END;$BODY$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE; Table Schemas: CREATE TABLE dbmirror.pending_trans ( trans_id oid NOT NULL, fetched bool DEFAULT false, CONSTRAINT pending_trans_pkey PRIMARY KEY (trans_id) ) WITHOUT OIDS; CREATE TABLE dbmirror.pending_statement ( id oid NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('dbmirror.statement_id_seq'::text), transaction_id oid NOT NULL, table_name text NOT NULL, op char NOT NULL, data text NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT pending_statement_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id) ) WITHOUT OIDS; CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_stmt_tran_id_id ON dbmirror.pending_statement USING btree (transaction_id, id); Postgres 8.0.1 on Linux. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Regards -- David Mitchell Software Engineer Telogis

Can you not simply use FOR transaction IN SELECT trans_id FROM pending_trans WHERE fetched = false ORDER BY trans_id LIMIT 50 and FOR statement IN SELECT id, transaction_id, table_name, op, data FROM dbmirror.pending_statement WHERE pending_statement.transaction_id = transaction.trans_id ORDER BY pending_statement.id I am pretty sure that the ORDER BY is slowing down both of these queries. Since you are going to go through the whole table eventually do you really need to sort the data at this point? -- Kind Regards, Keith

We didn't write it entirely in pgsql, there is a worker process that takes care of actually committing to the database. Cheers -- David Mitchell Software Engineer Telogis
Hi Keith, Unfortunately, we must have those sorts. The statements within a transaction must be executed on the slave in the same order as they were on the master, and similarly, transactions must also go in the same order. As for aliasing the tables, that is just a remnant from previous versions of the code.

Merge the two select statements like this and try, SELECT t.trans_id as ID,s.id, s.transaction_id, s.table_name, s.op, s.data FROM pending_trans AS t join dbmirror.pending_statement AS s on (s.transaction_id=t.id) WHERE t.fetched = false order by t.trans_id,s.id limit 100; If the above query works in the way you want, then you can also do the update using the same. with regards, S.Gnanavel > -----Original Message----- > From: david.mitchell@telogis.com > Sent: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 14:37:34 +1200 > To: pgsql-performance@postgresql.org > Subject: [PERFORM] How can I speed up this function? > > We have the following function in our home grown mirroring package, but > it isn't running as fast as we would like.

Hi Gnanavel, Thanks, but that will only return at most 100 statements. If there is a transaction with 110 statements then this will not return all the statements for that transaction. We need to make sure that the function returns all the statements for a transaction.

I think the following logic will do want you expect FOR statement IN <previous_query> LOOP -- update statement goes here -- if count > 100 and temp <> transaction_id then // reaches here only if the transaction is complete return; else count:= count+1; temp:=transaction_id; end if; end loop; with regards, S.Gnanavel > -----Original Message----- > From: david.mitchell@telogis.com > Sent: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 16:55:00 +1200 > To: s.gnanavel@inbox.com > Subject: Re: [PERFORM] How can I speed up this function? > > The function I have exits the loop when the count hits 100 yes, but the > inner loop can push the count up as high as necessary to select all the > statements for a transaction, so by the time it exits, the count could > be much higher.

The function I have exits the loop when the count hits 100 yes, but the inner loop can push the count up as high as necessary to select all the statements for a transaction, so by the time it exits, the count could be much higher.
