Subject Big database, transactions and performance
Author Christian Waldmann
Hello



I have a database with one table with over 10'000'000, one with over
100'000 entries and some other tables with less entries.



In one table, I update all 100 records every 10 seconds. There is very
little server load when there are no pending transactions. I use WITH
LOCK to access this table.

If there are pending transactions, the server load for the 100 updates
increases slowly and after some hours, the server load of fbserver is
100%.

The gap of oldest to next transaction is about 1000.



Is the the normal behaviou or do I miss something to keep server load
small?



Chris
