Hi,
When I ran PostgreSQL 7.1.3 and needed to do a bulk load, I stopped the postmaster, I turned of fsync (fsyns false in postgresql.conf OR option -F at startup), and I restarted the popstmaster. Now, with PostgreSQL 7.2, the time of the load is the same with fsync or without fsync. I have tested this on Linux and AIX. Is there something else to do with PostgreSQL 7.2 ? -- Jean-Michel Chabanne 77450 MONTRY (FRANCE) 48" 54' N - 2" 49' E Powered by Linux ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
