PostgreSQL Performance

In PostgreSQL, you can use reverse key indexes can be used to reduce leaf block contention and improve performance, especially in scenarios when high contention occurs on the last block of an index.. This technique […]

  In PostgreSQL, tuning block sizes can have a significant impact on performance, especially for workloads that involve large sequential scans or high I/O operations. By adjusting the block size, you can optimize data storage […]

While default values in PostgreSQL can be convenient and provide initial values for columns, certain default values can have a detrimental impact on PostgreSQL performance. Here are some examples of potentially deadly default values and […]

Understanding Query Transformation in PostgreSQL CBO Query transformation plays a crucial role in the PostgreSQL Cost-Based Optimizer (CBO). It enables the optimizer to modify a user’s SQL query to generate a more efficient query plan. […]

In PostgreSQL, you can actively use the Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) to identify outliers in a dataset. Since MAD is a robust statistic, it measures variability more effectively than traditional metrics. Moreover, it remains less […]

In PostgreSQL, you can apply the isnumeric function to identify strings that PostgreSQL can treat as numbers. The isnumeric function returns TRUE if all characters in the string are numeric, and FALSE otherwise. Here is an […]
