Hi,
I'm looking for a *fast* solution to search thru ~ 4 million records of book descriptions. I've installed PostgreSQL 8.0.1 on a dual opteron server with 8G of memory, running Linux 2.6. I haven't done a lot of tuning on PostgreSQL itself, but here's the settings I have changed so far:
shared_buffers = 2000 (anything much bigger says the kernel doesnt allow it, still have to look into that)
use something like echo "150000000" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
to increase shared memory. In your case you could dedicate much more
memory.
