Re: parse - bind take more time than execute

thx for your reply :)

-the timings come from the log
-the table is this ->
\d configurations
Table "public.configurationcontext"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-------------------+------------------------+-----------
id | numeric(18,0) | not null
category | numeric(18,0) |
pr_oid | numeric(18,0) |
var_attrs | character varying(255) |
num_value | numeric(18,0) |
Indexes:
"pk_configurations" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
"conf_index" btree (category, pr_oid, num_value)

and one query is this ->
SELECT * FROM configurations WHERE pr_oid=$1 AND num_value=$2

-the table has only 2500 rows
-this messages used to appear a lot after i created a new index for the 2
columns mentioned above in the query, since i thought that the 3-column
index wouldnt be of much help since the first column was not defined in the
query. now i have dropped this extra index and i see much less records in
the log about the bind/parse phase of the query

-the server has 4 cores, 12 GB ram, and fata disks. the settings from the
query are these ->
name |
current_setting
