You've got an actual 12MB, but you can easily allocate up to shared_buffers + (user_connections * work_mem), which is 18.5 GB. I would start by reducing shared_buggers to 3GB or less, and cut work_mem in half. Then I would get a connection pooler set up to funnel 200 client-side connections through a pool of 10 or 20 database connections. Then I would try edging up work_mem while monitoring performance and memory usage. -Kevin Thanks for the response- great food for thought. Do you have any recommendations on a pg connection pooler? -- Wells Oliver Architect, Baseball Systems 619-795-5359 San Diego Padres | 100 Park Boulevard | San Diego CA 92101 -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
