Hi,

I built a database on postgres8.1, then I did VACUUM FULL ANALYZE, but the
query is still slow.
Has anybody an idea ?

Thanks

Dong

I recommend you re-post to the pgsql-performance list, after reading
this:
 
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/SlowQueryQuestions
 
The one thing I can say based on the information you've provided so
far is that you can expect major performance improvements if you
upgrade to a new major release of PostgreSQL.
 
Well, there is one other thing -- it's almost never a good idea to
run VACUUM FULL.  You may have bloated your indexes.  You could try
a REINDEX on the database.

When I had performance problems, what I did was go through the specific 
queries that we presenting the performance problem and used an analyze on
those queries. I found that there was a significant performance issues 
with the way that some queries were fashioned. What I ended up doing was
switching to 8.2.
