Checkpoint taking more time
Hi, Maybe you should reduce your checkpoint interval to 300 or less. This leads to more checkpoints, but these are shorter, which is better for a OLTP system as the blocking time is minimized. Since you have 7.31, there is no way to avoid the blocking times (in 9.x or 10.x a fuz…
