PostgreSQL High Performance Cookbook

Sharing knowledge which I have gained from last 6 years.

So glad to be part of PostgreSQL High Performance Cookbook, where I have discussed all the knowledge I have gained from PostgreSQL database.

PostgreSQL High Performance Cookbook

Working with PostgreSQL from last 6 years, I have gained so much of knowledge about database management systems. Being a DBA for several years, I explored so many tools which work great with PostgreSQL database. During this 6 years journey, I got a chance to meet many wonderful peoples who guided me very well. I would like to say thanks to everyone who taught me PostgreSQL database in soft/hard ways :-). Also, would like to say thanks to every PostgreSQL developer, and authors and bloggers, from where I have learned many more things.

Finally thanks to OpenSCG team
Thanks to my wife manoja  for her wonderful support, and my friend Baji Shaik for his help in writing the content.

That too, it’s giving load on the production server. So, we planned to run this UPDATE as batch process.  Per a batch process, we took “N” no.or records. To process this batch UPDATE, it is taking “S” no.of seconds. With the above batch process, production server is pretty stable, and doing great. So, we planned to run these Batch updates parallel.  I mean, “K” sessions, running different record UPDATEs. Of-course, we can also increase the Batch size ...
