database relocation
Posted: Apr 23, 2020, 2:28 PM

The database queries are now run on a different machine from this server. At first glance this has made the more expensive queries a lot more responsive.

Thank you, rainwolf, for all the difficult (and I hope interesting and fun) work that you do to keep Pente.org solid.

On the contrary, for me right now the database queries are sometimes taking much, much longer than usual.

It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.

I'll take a closer look when I can.
Are there specific parameters to those queries and what is the browser you're using?

Using chrome on a dell xps 13 laptop, and no it seems to be happening pretty randomly. Maybe most commonly when I first open the db--I'll often have to wait 30 seconds or more before I can enter moves onto the board or do anything. Then sometimes searches return quickly, sometimes very slowly.

That is going to be trickier to debug, I'll look into it.

I also recently switched to an hourly (instead of daily) offsite backup regimen, so if you find that queries are particularly slow between 0 and 5 (or so) minutes after the hour, then that would be the cause. If that's the case, then let me know and I'll look into making different arrangements for backups.

I know this is not going to help, but...
db queries were fine before and don't seem any faster now.
I have NOT noticed any slower responses.

Before, queries with rating restrictions in them would be slow for me sometimes, I have the impression that is no longer the case.

I made a change in the network connection between the 2 machines, if there's still lag (notably the one on initial load), let me know.

Dont know if you are still interested or not.
For several weeks now, maybe even a couple of months, database queries have been slow.
Since noticing I have used several machines on several different wifi and wired connections. Seems to be worse if I add any variables.

I'm seeing it too now, not sure about the cause but will look into it.

What kind of queries are slow?
Preliminary tests show that for me a search where only one player's rating is restricted, and the other not (above 0), those stick out as slow queries.

Which ones are for you consistently slow?

Doesn't seem to matter. But If I immediately run the same query results are pretty quick to come back

When I find some time in the coming weeks, I will rent a stronger machine to host the database and see if that makes a difference.

no, so I'm glad you did, I didn't notice because I don't use it, but I'm seeing the same thing.
