Hi - Can anyone tell me how well PostgreSQL 8.x performs on the new Sun Ultrasparc T1 processor and architecture on Solaris 10? I have a custom built retail sales reporting that I developed using PostgreSQL 7.48 and PHP on a Fedora Core 3 intel box. I want to scale this application upwards to handle a database that might grow to a 100 GB. Our company is green mission conscious now so I was hoping I could use that to convince management to consider a Sun Ultrasparc T1 or T2 system provided that if I can get the best performance out of it on PostgreSQL. So will newer versions of PostgreSQL (8.1.x) be able to take of advantage of the multiple cores on a T1 or T2? I cannot change the database and this will be a hard sell unless I can convince them that the performance advantages are too good to pass up. The company is moving in the Win32 direction and so I have to provide rock solid reasons for why I want to use Solaris Sparc on a T1 or T2 server for this database application instead of Windows on SQL Server. Thanks, Juan -------------------------------------------------------
