Possibly also effective_cache_size. It really depends on your system. Having tuned a ton of apps to work with PostgreSQL what I usually do is write a small script that does the major resource intensive queries on the database and time it. Tweak a PostgreSQL parameter and re-run, wash, rinse, repeat until I get what I believe is the best performance I can. --------------------------------- Frank Wiles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wiles.org --------------------------------- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
