Re: Insertion to temp table deteriorating over time

Good question, and I agree with your point.

Are the removable rows in pg_class even an issue? So what if 5000-6000 dead
tuples are generated every hour then vacuumed? Performance continues to
steadily decline over a few days time. Memory usage does not appear to be
bloating. Open file handles remain fairly fixed. Is there anything else I
can monitor (perhaps something to do with the odbc connection) that I could
potentially correlate with the degrading performance?
