Bruce, > Yes, I think that is a good idea --- now, does it go in the install > docs, or in the docs next to each GUC item?
Hmmm ... both, I think. The Install Docs should have: "Here are the top # things you will want to adjust in your PostgreSQL.conf: 1) Shared_buffers <link> 2) Sort_mem <link> 3) effective_cache_size <link> 4) random_page_cost <link> 5) Fsync <link> etc." Then next to each of these items in the Docs, I add 1-2 sentences about how to set that item. Hmmm ... do we have similar instructions for setting connection options and pg_hba.conf? We should have a P telling people they need to do this. Barring an objection, I'll get to work on this. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
