In general the answer is yes. The default is a pretty good best guess at what sorts of values work for your "typical system", but if you run into performance problems the config file is where you should look first, provided you've done the simple things like adding good indexes, vacumm analyze, etc. You'll want to consult the following various documentation out there to help your properly tune your configuration: http://www.varlena.com/varlena/GeneralBits/Tidbits/perf.html http://www.powerpostgresql.com/Docs http://www.powerpostgresql.com/PerfList http://www.revsys.com/writings/postgresql-performance.html Hopefully these will help you understand how to set your configuration values. --------------------------------- Frank Wiles <frank@xxxxxxxxx> http://www.wiles.org ---------------------------------
