Re: PostgreSQL using 100% CPU

When try to calculate an accounter form (for 1 month of trade, winsoft) the program just hangs and normal state of postgresql-server (about 40% uses CPU1 & 0% uses CPU2) suddenly change to 100% using of both CPU :(
After killing the winsoft accounters program, postgre SELECT process continue using 100% of CPU's
Fedora Core 10, PostgreSQL 8.3, 2 x CPU Dual Core AMD Opteron 2216, autovacuum turned on. size of DB - 68 Gb

I have installed phppgadmin. But I can't understand where I can apply this SQL-request?

Here is top and ps auxww results after run calculating on winclient.
