Summary0001656: PostgreSQL server side prepared statements causing slow query processing
DescriptionThe server side prepared statement cache mechanism implemented on PostgreSQL 9.0 and up causes basic prepared statements to execute extremely slowly.

In short this is because the extremely generic query plan basically always results in table scans for all data :(
Steps To ReproduceInstall SymmetricDS on any version of PostgresSQL 9.0 or higher instance.

Do a basic primary key based UPDATE of approx 250k records on a master table that has around 5M records.

Now watch the slave DB take 2/3 weeks to replicate the 250k updates :(
TagsNo tags attached.

After much googling and testing I found that setting the protocolVersion to version 2 using &protocolVersion=2 on the postgres url the problem was resolved.

250k updates went from 2/3 weeks UNCOMPLETED to COMPLETED in 20mins

I've added a patch file issue-1656.patch to resolve the problem.

Or you can just add "protocolVersion=2" to your connection string.
