Using PostgreSQL as a Data Warehouse
At Narrator we support many data warehouses, including Postgres. Though it was designed for production systems, with a little tweaking Postgres can work extremely well as a data warehouse.
For those that want to cut to the chase, here’s the tl;dr
- don’t use the same server as your production system
- upgrade to pg 12+ (or avoid common table expressions in your queries)
- go easy on indexes – less is more
- consider partitioning long tables
- ensure you’re not I/O-bound
- vacuum analyze after bulk insertion
- explore parallel queries
- increase statistics sampling
- use fewer columns on frequently-queried tables
- at scale consider a dedicated warehouse
