Re: AW: Performance degradation over a period

Posted By: Art Kagel

In Response To: Re: AW: Performance degradation over a period (NANDKISHOR SINGARE)

If fewer than 70% of the rows result in an INSERT it is MUCH faster to do
the UPDATE first and if it returns zero rows updated then do the INSERT.
The failed INSERTs have to be undone from the index which among other things
makes the index less efficient over time.

I don't think that this is the ONLY problem here, there's something else
going on, but this will improve things a bit even once you figure out why
there's a slowdown over time.
