Subject: pg_dump index creation order
Date: Sat, 6 May 2006 19:15:55 -0600
Message-ID: <200605061915.55712.pgsql@bluepolka.net> (raw)

I'm watching a long, painfully slow 60GB load from pg_dump 
(8.1.2), and noticing it's jumping back and forth from different 
tables.  I assume this is the index creation order showing up.

Would it make more sense to have pg_dump dump indexes grouped by 
the table?  That way, if a table got loaded into cache for one 
index creation, it might still be there for the immediatly 
following index creations on the same table...
