ODBC connection overhead

Post by abeeshdreams » Thu Oct 25, 2012 5:52 am

We are using datastage 8.7 and Vertica 6.0 and ODBC 3.5 driver to connect to Vertica. We had excellent query performance when we were initially using dbadmin as user. But when we switched to another user with all the required privileges it takes a ton of time to connect and generate Insert/Update statements. Once the statements were generated the load is pretty fast. When we test the same with dbadmin the overhead time for connecting to Vertica and generating Insert/Update statements is not there. Anyone familiar with this kind of issue?

Hi,

Maybe the user has different setting for the resource pools? What are the resource limits for the user?

Code: Select all

select user_name, is_super_user, resource_pool, memory_cap_kb, temp_space_cap_kb, run_time_cap
  from users
 where user_name = '<<your user name>>';

Have checked for the resource pool setting. Its the same as that of "dbadmin" except for 'is super user'



user_name | is_super_user| resource_pool| memory_cap_kb | temp_space_cap_kb| run_time_cap
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
user1 | FALSE | general | unlimited | unlimited | unlimited


Heard its a known issue with vertica 6.0 and have been rectified in v 6.1.
Any info about this?

The only mention of ODBC fixes in the 6.1 documentation are these:

VER-23629 Client Drivers - ODBC
  • When using the TIMESTAMP parameter with the pyodbc driver, Vertica dropped the second fraction portion of the timestamp. This issue has been resolved.
VER-21693Client Drivers –ODBC, Client Drivers - VSQL
  • SSL is now supported for ODBC clients on Windows.
