||||||
|
when there are conflicting lock requests. Under load, it is easily
|
||||||
|
possible that truncation would never occur, resulting in table bloat.
|
||||||
|
Fix by performing a partial truncation, releasing the lock, then
|
||||||
|
attempting to re-acquire the lock and continue. This fix also greatly
|
||||||
|
reduces the average time before autovacuum releases the lock after a
|
||||||
|
conflicting request arrives.

Fix performance problems with autovacuum truncation in busy workloads

Truncation of empty pages at the end of a table requires exclusive
|
||||||
|
lock, but autovacuum was coded to fail (and release the table lock)
|
||||||
|
when there are conflicting lock requests. Under load, it is easily
|
||||||
|
possible that truncation would never occur, resulting in table bloat.
|
||||||
|
Fix by performing a partial truncation, releasing the lock, then
|
||||||
|
attempting to re-acquire the lock and continue. This fix also greatly
|
||||||
|
reduces the average time before autovacuum releases the lock after a
|
||||||
|
conflicting request arrives.

Fix performance problems with autovacuum truncation in busy workloads
|
||||||
|
(Jan Wieck)
|

|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Truncation of empty pages at the end of a table requires exclusive
|
||||||
|
lock, but autovacuum was coded to fail (and release the table lock)
|
||||||
|
when there are conflicting lock requests. Under load, it is easily
|
||||||
|
possible that truncation would never occur, resulting in table bloat.
|
||||||
|
Fix by performing a partial truncation, releasing the lock, then
|
||||||
|
attempting to re-acquire the lock and continue. This fix also greatly
|
||||||
|
reduces the average time before autovacuum releases the lock after a
|
||||||
|
conflicting request arrives.

Improve performance of <function>SPI_execute</> and related

(Heikki Linnakangas, Tom Lane)

<para>
|
||||||
|
Remove some data-copying overhead that was added in 9.2 as a
|
||||||
|
consequence of revisions in the plan caching mechanism. This
|
||||||
|
eliminates a performance regression compared to 9.1, and also saves
|
||||||
|
memory, especially when the query string to be executed contains many
|
||||||
|
SQL statements.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
A side benefit is that multi-statement query strings are now
|
||||||
|
processed fully serially, that is we complete execution of earlier
|
||||||
|
statements before running parse analysis and planning on the
|
||||||
|
following ones. This eliminates a long-standing issue, in that DDL
|
||||||
|
that should affect the behavior of a later statement will now behave as
|
||||||
|
expected.
