Can anyone give a good reference site/book for getting the most out of your postgres server.
All I can find is contradicting theories on how to work out your settings.
This is what I followed to setup our db server that serves our web applications.

We have a Dell Poweredge with the following spec.
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz (512 KB Cache) CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz (512 KB Cache) CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz (512 KB Cache) CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz (512 KB Cache) Physical Memory: 2077264 kB Swap Memory: 2048244 kB
Apache on the Web server can take up to 300 connections and PHP is using pg_pconnect
Postgres is set with the following.
max_connections = 300 shared_buffers = 38400 sort_mem = 12000
But Apache is still maxing out the non-super user connection limit.
Tell us the value MaxClients in your apache configuration
