That's roughly 18 * 60 = 1,080 MB/s. If we organized that into four banks, one for each CPU and made each one RAID5 and left two disks for spares, you'd have 12 disks working for you at 720MB/s, which is possibly double the number of active FC channels you have, unless they are all active, in which case you have a nicely matched 800MB/s of FC. >> So, from 15 MB/s up to about 20 MB/s.

Sure. Still, what I'd expect is something like 10x this update rate using the parallelism buried in your hardware. If you configure the same machine with 4 Bizgres MPP segments running on 4 LUNs I think you'd be shocked at the speedups. - Luke ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
