Hello -
I'm running PG 8.2 on an 8-processor 16G Unix machine. The machine is
dedicated to the db, and only 5 threads/processors are busy. The following
query takes 70 seconds to execute.
select count(*) from url_list_url;
There are 64,219,173 rows in the table. The table consists of an integer
field and a text field. The average length of the text field is 50
characters. There are btree indexes on both fields. The integer field is
the key.
70 seconds seems to be a long time for this kind of query. Is this normal?
Thanks.
David
