It sounds like this data is not that valuable, so a small window of data loss in the event of a crash might be acceptable for a gain in performance. If that is the case, consider turning off synchronous_commit. Note that this is something that you can do at the transaction granularity, so, for example, if there are financial transactions, they need not make this trade-off. -- Peter Geoghegan http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training and Services -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
