PostgreSQL查询通过Python花费的时间太长

Question

#!/usr/bin/env python
import pika


def doQuery( conn, i ) :
    cur = conn.cursor()

    cur.execute("SELECT * FROM table OFFSET %s LIMIT 100000", (i,))


    return cur.fetchall()


print "Using psycopg2"
import psycopg2
myConnection = psycopg2.connect( host=hostname, user=username, 
password=password, dbname=database )

connection = 
pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters(host='localhost'))
channel = connection.channel()

channel.queue_declare(queue='task_queue2')

endloop = False
i = 1
while True:

  results = doQuery( myConnection, i )



    j = 0
    while j < 10000:

      try:
        results[j][-1]
      except:
        endloop = True
      break


      message = str(results[j][-1]).encode("hex")

      channel.basic_publish(exchange='',
                routing_key='task_queue2',
                body=message
                #properties=pika.BasicProperties(
                    #delivery_mode = 2, # make message persistent
                )#)



       j = j + 1

# if i % 10000 == 0:
#   print i

  if endloop == False:
    break        

  i = i + 10000

The SQL query is taking too long to execute when i gets to 100,000,000, but I have about two billion entries I need to put into the queue. Anyone know of a more efficient SQL query that I can run so that I can get all those two billion into the queue faster?

psycopg2 supports server-side cursors , that is, a cursor that is managed on the database server rather than in the client. The full result set is not transferred all at once to the client, rather it is fed to it as required via the cursor interface.

This will allow you to perform the query without using paging (as LIMIT/OFFSET implements), and will simplify your code. To use a server side cursor use the name parameter when creating the cursor.

import pika
import psycopg2

with psycopg2.connect(host=hostname, user=username, password=password, dbname=database) as conn:
    with conn.cursor(name='my_cursor') as cur:    # create a named server-side cursor
        cur.execute('select * from table')

        connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters(host='localhost'))
        channel = connection.channel()
        channel.queue_declare(queue='task_queue2')

        for row in cur:
            message = str(row[-1]).encode('hex')
            channel.basic_publish(exchange='', routing_key='task_queue2', body=message)

You might want to tweak cur.itersize to improve performance if necessary.
