Slightly off-topic, but I think your tuning settings are a bit out. You've got 4MB allocated to shared_buffers but 128MB allocated to sort_mem? And only 80MB to effective_cache_size? Your settings might be right, but you'd need a very strange set of circumstances. As for PG silently discarding inserts, your best bet might be to write a short Perl script to reproduce the problem. Without that, people are likely to be sceptical - if PG tended to do this sort of thing, none of us would use it. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
