Hi,
Alfter hours of adjusting performance of the queries in my Postgres
7.3 database - reprogramming the queries, VACUUMing, changing value of
enable_seqscan - I gived it up, recreated the database and transferred
the dump of the old database into it.
The queries went from 15 sec to 50 msec!! Wow.
Now I would really love to know how the old database got that slow,
and how can I avoid it in the future. Any tips are greatly
appreciated!
Thanks!
Ksenia.

If memory servers me (and it might not in this case), vacuum in 7.3 had
issues with indexes. Reindexing or clustering your tables might have
helped. Both are blocking operations.
How to avoid it in the future is simple. Upgrade to a modern version of
Postgres and vacuum your database properly. People work on this thing
for a reason :-)
