Some questions to clarify this: - What settings do "newbies" (or anyone else) typically need to change? Please post a list. - What values would you set those settings to? Please provide a description for arriving at a value, which can later be transformed into code. Note that in some cases, not even the documentation provides more than handwaving help. - If we know better values, why don't we set them by default? Another orthogonal stumbling block on the way to making all of this automatic is that the surely criticial shared_buffers setting will in any useful configuration require messing around with kernel settings that no PostgreSQL tool can really help with. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
