Hi,

Is it possible to cache a whole PostGIS database? For example:

If a whole database is around 7 GB and the server has 24 GB average
available RAM. Is it possible to cache all database to RAM and query the
GIS records from RAM instead of disk?

Yes, google: postgresql optimize database size
basically you need to configure postgresql.conf and change the settings.
specifically you'll want to read about shared_buffers and maybe a few other options.

But if you make changes to the database it still has to flush them to disk, so you can not avoid doing IO in this case.
