you know what you lot have left my original question this server is a
temporary piece of shit
my original question is what are the overheads for postgres but
obviously no
one knows or no one knows where a webpage containing this
information is -_-
overhead information i would to know is row overheads column
overheads and
header overheads for blocks and anything else i have missed
trust me postgres and a Mac don't like working together you have no
idea the
amount of problems we have incurred with php trying to talk to
postgres on a
Mac out biggest problem is Mac tecs are incompetent and we cannot
get any
support for the server I know postgres connects fine just we cannot
get it
working on the Mac so I love your guys ideas but they don't work
that's why
I have had to take another approach if we were not using a Mac we
would have
none of the problems we have with connection issues such as php
seems to
want to take up 20 db connections at a time but I think we fixed that
problem overall our problem is the Mac and we cannot get it support
neither I nor the web app developer are Mac savvy hell as far as we
have
seen no Mac tec is Mac savvy either we cannot get parts of postgres
to run
on a Mac either such as pgagent which is necessary for us but we
cannot seem
to find a daemon that works on a Mac
I have a list of problems a mile long and none of them are postgres
it is
the Mac
so minus all that as the Mac is only a temporary solution can
anyone just
answer the original question for me if not and I mean no offence to
anyone
but I really don't care as I am going to re do it all later down
the track
as I have said your ideas sound good just not Mac oriented nor are
they to
do with my original question I have never had trouble finding overhead
information on any other DBMS I have used this is the first time I
have had
to ask for it and since this DBMS is open source I have to ask a
community
rather than a company
if anyone is wondering why I don't switch now money and time are
not on my
side
and for those who wonder why don't I leave this job is big time
just starts
off small time but the potential of this job is very nice and as
they say if
you want something good you have to work hard for it I am not a fan of
taking the easy way out as it brings no benefits
for those who want to know more I cannot tell you as I am under a
confidentiality agreement
Kelvan, proper capitalization and punctuation are virtues when
trying to communicate extensively via text mediums. I, for one, read
the first couple and last couple of lines of this message after
gruelingly reading your last message and I wouldn't be surprised if
others with more experience and better answers at the ready simply
ignored both as that much text is extremely difficult to follow in
the absence those aforementioned virtues.
