333.0. "Ingres performance??" by MQOP12::G_POISSANT () Thu Apr 13 1989 23:10

    I have a customer using INGRES on a 8820 and he is experiencing a 
    problem with is night jobs.  They are batch jobs and they can't 
    seem to get to use more than 50 % of the CPU.  We analysed the 
    ressources usage and found no real bottleneck that can explain
    the observed behavior.  We suspect the application and/or Ingres 
    but we can't proove it.  I've been told that Ingres has problem with
    heavy loads, and that incorporating RDB in the picture would help.
    I need someone who's been through such problem that could guide
    me through that.

What do you meen by "batch job". is it 3gl with embedded sql, ABF/osl,
or some utility.

Was I/O a bottleneck.

It is true that loading a table with 3GL program is problematic sience INGRES
is doing at least 1, usually more I/Os per record, even if you commits every
 N'th record.

The preffered way to load into INGRES  is to use "copy" utility.

Hope it helps
