> effective_cache_size = 5000000 looks like madness to me. my (modest) understanding of this, is that you are telling postgres to assume a 40Gb disk cache (correct me if I am wrong). btw, how much effect does this setting have on the planner? is there a recommended procedure to estimate the best value for effective_cache_size on a dedicated DB server ? gnari ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
