Note that PostgreSQL doesn't auto-update clustered indexes. i.e. they deteriorate over time, and require being re-clustered after a while. On Mon, 2006-09-25 at 17:27, adey wrote: > A good guide for a clustered index is:- > Will the index be unique, static and narrow. > If not, avoid clustered in

A good guide for a clustered index is:- Will the index be unique, static and narrow. If not, avoid clustered indexing as they require extra work on disk to maintain their sequence.  On 9/26/06, Chris Hoover <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I am looking to squeeze a bit more speed out of my database by cl

2006-09-25 Thread Chris Hoover
I am looking to squeeze a bit more speed out of my database by clustering most of my tables.  However, on tables with multiple indexes, how is the best way to choose the index.  I am thinking I want to use the index with the largest pg_stat_user_indexes.idx_tup_read.  Would this be correct?  If not

Much more important is your disk subsystem. Using an Areca RAID controller with battery backed cache and a half dozen or more hard drives is often the real winner for performance. Yes, LSI and 3Ware are also good. I am particularly fond of LSI but Areca has PCI-Express cards which means you ca
