Re: query runs longer on informix 11.50 than on 9.

In Response To: query runs longer on informix 11.50 than on 9.40 (GILLES TCHAPPI)

Gilles:

Could be a combination of a number of things:

1. Your 9.40 systabnames has 34,634 objects in it, your 11.50

systabnames has 63,998 objects. This difference might be caused by

older legacy attached indexes in 9.40 (was the default prior to v7.30/9.11)

being created as detached indexes (the default now) in 11.50 when you

imported your database. More objects, more time to scan the tables' and

indexes' partition pages.

2. It may also be that you have fragmented (partitioned) your tables

and indexes in 11.50 more aggressively than you did in 9.40. Again, more

objects, more time to scan the tables' and indexes' partition pages.

3. Your dbspace layout may be different between the two servers. Each

object (table, index, table fragment, or index fragment) has a partition

header page (possibly more than one in 11.70+, but you are using 11.50, so

one) which lives in the dbspace that contains that partition. If the

number of partitions in a dbspace was large, and you did not increase the

size of the tablespace tablespace (the virtual table that contains the

partition header pages) at the time you created the dbspace, then the

tablespace tablespace may be fragmented (bad kind) across several extents

and possible across multiple chunks. The layout may be different in 11.50

than it was in 9.40 due to the order in which objects were created and

space was consumed as the database was imported into 11.50 versus how it

was initially created in 9.40. As bad as fragmentation is for user tables,

its effects can be worse for system objects like the tablespace tablespace,

especially when you are querying it directly as you are in this query.
