Hi, I would like to propose an updated patch on multi/bulk inserts in CTAS [1] that tries to address the review comments that came up in [1]. One of the main review comments was to calculate/estimate the tuple size to decide on when to flush. I tried to solve this point with a new function GetTupleSize()(see the patch for implementation).
I did some testing with custom configuration[2]. Use case 1- 100mn tuples, 2 integer columns, exec time in sec: HEAD: *131.507* when the select part is not parallel, 128.832 when the select part is parallel Patch: 98.925 when the select part is not parallel, *52.901* when the select part is parallel Use case 2- 10mn tuples, 4 integer and 6 text columns, exec time in sec: HEAD: *76.801* when the select part is not parallel, 66.074 when the select part is parallel Patch: 74.083 when the select part is not parallel, *57.739* when the select part is parallel Thoughts? If the approach followed in the patch looks okay, I can work on a separate patch for multi inserts in refresh materialized view cases. I thank Simon Riggs for the offlist discussion. PS: I chose to start a new thread as the previous thread [1] was closed in the CF. I hope that's not a problem.
