Hi Everyone, I am running Postgres 7.1 and php 4.0. I have a question: Why does postmaster use 80% of the CPU on a simple sql query? I have a form that displays a list of customers based on a criteria they enter. If the user doesn't enter in a criteria it will display all the customer in the database. Basically the sql stmt is select * from customer where upper(name) like upper('$criteria%') Does anyone know what the limitation on Postgres? Like how many records before it starts to seize and choke on the performance side? Thanks Linh ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://www.postgresql.org/search.mpl
