Postgres is designed in this way. It can handle such problem by adopting the following steps: 1.Increase the kernal level parameters:shmmax and shmallexample for 2GB RAM size for postgres processing is below vi /etc/sysctl.confkernel.shmmax = 2147483648 kernel.shmall = 2883584
similar way you increase the configuration paramater for half of RAM size of your machine. 2. Edit your postgresql.conf file following settings: a. Increase the number of connection parameter. Connection = 500 b.Effective_cache_size = 2GB c. Shared_memory = 500MB On Wednesday, 23 December 2015 8:04 AM, Jim Nasby <jim.na...@bluetreble.com> wrote: On 12/22/15 2:09 AM, Pavel Stehule wrote: > > There was lot of bugfix releases after 9.1.2 - currently there is > PostgreSQL 9.2.19. I'm sure Pavel meant 9.1.19, not 9.2.19. In any case, be aware that 9.1 goes end of life next year. You should start planning on a major version upgrade now if you haven't already. 9.5 should release in January so you might want to wait for that version. -- Jim Nasby, Data Architect, Blue Treble Consulting, Austin TX Experts in Analytics, Data Architecture and PostgreSQL Data in Trouble?
