Performance problem - Upgrade from 4.0 to 5.03 SE
Posted in 1994
The performance of the system took a nose dive after we upgraded
the system from 4.00 SE to 5.03 SE.
The system is configured as follow:
Hardward.
IBM RS6000 7013-560
512 M of memory
656 M of page space ( usually < 50% used )
A 7G RAID box.
Software.
AIX 3.2.5
SE 5.03
4gl, ID, RDS - 4.1
We did discover a bug that a join for different data type ( ex.
join an interger with char ) will take forever. We resolved the
problem.
Also Informix recommanded to do a dbexport and dbimport. We did
that but it did not help the performance.
Is the problem related to the difference optimizers is being used in
4.0 and 5.0? Or Does the 5.0 require more system resources?
