Hello,
I am doing some test with differents values for the parameter maintenance_work_mem in order to
ameliorate the time for the creation of index and and the use of vacuum and analyse.
I read in the doc that this parameter is just for create index, vacuum and analyse and foreign key .
But when i test 2 queries with differents values the result are twice big :
for mwm to 64 Mo the query 1 last 34 min and the query 2 41 min
for mwm to 512 mo the query 1 last 17 min and the query 2 21 min
So my question is in what condition the parameter maintenance_work_mem influence on the execution of queries.
Thanks ,
