Hi,
lately I've been acused of "stone-age maintenance procedures".
Hopefully I will find some help to develop from stone-age to roman empire. ;-)
To optimize the performance and to minimize the maintainance needs I would like to ask you guys about some values in my postgresql.conf.
select version();
PostgreSQL 7.3.4 on i386-redhat-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC i386-redhat-linux-gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
(1 row)
max_connections = 32 superuser_reserved_connections = 2 shared_buffers = 30000 max_fsm_relations = 10000 max_fsm_pages = 100000 max_locks_per_transaction = 128 wal_buffers = 32 sort_mem = 1024 vacuum_mem = 8192 checkpoint_segments = 16 # in logfile segments, min 1, 16MB each fsync = false open_datasync effective_cache_size = 20000 # typically 8KB each
The total database size on disk is ~6GB.
Some tables get changed *very* frequently. A nightly "vacuum full analyze" frees about 250,000 rows on each of three tables.
And yes I will change to 7.4 this week.
TIA
Ulrich
