Postgresql 7.1.3, Redhat 7.2, ACID 0.9.6b19, Compaq ML370 (dual P-III 400s I
think?)

We did a move of 3000 alerts to the archive database in 569 seconds today.
However, this machine does lots of other stuff, you are doing a lot of selects and
inserts, and postgres is much slower than MySQL.

There are some threads google finds on performance tuning including making sure
all your indexes are there, and there is a lot of PGSQL tuning you can do.

About how long should it take to delete ~1000 alerts from a Postgresql
database using ACID?

It takes me about 129 seconds to delete 8000 alerts in MYSQL.
I only had 28244 alerts to start.  This was on a PII 300Mhz.

My acid version is: ACID v0.9.6b20, snort is 1.8.3(88)


When I try this I get different results, none of them satisfactory.
Most often the browser will sit for a few hours then return the
top of an ACID page including the message about how many alerts
where added to the cache, but blank after that. The DB has about
150,000 alerts in it. (I'm still working on thining out my rule
sets ;-))

P2 500Mhz
RH 7.2
Postgresql the came with RH 7.2
latest ACID and required stuff

Thanks for any insight,
