Hello Everyone,

I am hoping somebody could point me in the right direction..

I have a table with close to a million entries. I've set up indexes
that are relevant to
the expected queries. Thanks to the indexes I can use Enterprise
Manager and
Query Analyzer to obtain results within say 3 seconds.

Those results are for when manually running queries generated by
OpenJPA and
also by Hibernate. However, when running the program itself, that uses
those frameworks,
the same query can take up to 30seconds before finally, and correctly,
returning even an
empty collection. That's on a production server, in instances when I
have even made sure
that the program is the only thing accessing the database server.

I don't observe such a long delay when executing the program on a
restored copy of the
database, and the table with ~million entries, on my own development
PC. The query time
is a matter of milliseconds.

I've copied all the data over to a PostgreSQL database, and here, on
both production server
and development workstation, the execution time is also a matter of
milliseconds.
I've used virtually identical META-INF\persistence.xml for the
respective frameworks on the
respective DBMS, and respective workstation/server.

I'm not clear where else to look for a culprit(s) here. I'm hoping
some people could help with
some advice. Thanks.

Rico.
