Subject Upgrade to FB2.01 and performance drops
Author trtoms
We've just upgraded one of our servers from V1.5.3 to V2.01 and
performance has plummeted.

One particular query that runs on the old V1.5.3 takes around 7
seconds, but this has shot up to over 600 on V2.01! Overall
performance on most queries has dropped badly.

We backed up the database fo v1.5.3 and restored it into V2.01 using
IBOConsole, and all superficially seemed OK, but users started
complaining of poor performance almost immediately.

We've tried using another server, and this also took over 300 seconds
to run the query (it's a better server). We then uninstalled V2.01,
reinstalled v1.5.3 on this second server, restored the database and
the query ran in 3 seconds!

Now, the only thing tht seems odd, is that when restoring the
database with IBOConsole, V1.5.3 shows messages "gbak: restoring
index IDX_XXX", while V2.01 shows messages "gbak: activating and
creating deferred index IDX_XXXX".

The performance drop would be consistent with there being no indexes
or inactive indexes in the newly restored database. However, all the
indexes show as active in IBOConsole.

Any clues to what is happening here?

Thanks,
