At the risk of being even more pedantic, let me point out that if you are
going to be running your application with multiple users the reverse is
even more true, 'If it can't handle multiple user tests then single user
tests are kind of a waste of time'.

[PERFORM] Thanks Chariot Solutions

2004-10-31 Thread brew

Many thanks to Chariot Solutions, http://chariotsolutions.com, for hosting
Bruce Momjian giving one of his PostgreSQL seminars outside of
Philadelphia, PA yesterday. There were about sixty folks there, one person
driving from Toronto and another coming from California (!).

I found it very enlightening and learned some new things about PostgreSQL,
even if I *did* doze off for a few minutes after lunch when all my energy
was concentrated in my stomach.

But after I got back home I dreamt about PostgreSQL all night long!!!

Thanks Bruce and Chariot Solutions.

Yes.  Set up a linux machine if you don't have access to one so you can
load postgresql and start learning how postgresql works by playing with
it.  Even after you get the production database running you can use it for
testing (or even the main machine, depending, but it's nice to have a test
platform entirely removed from the hot database).

And start reading, read the pgsql newsgroups (and not just performance,
there are other more basic ones), read the online docs and books, and
there are printed books, too.  A wealth of information.

I'm sure others have more ideas to recommend, too..
