PostgreSQL: 8.2 I am looking at the possibility of storing files in some of my
database tables. My concern is obviously performance. I have configured
PostgreSQL to take advantage of Linux file caching. So my PostgreSQL does not
have a large setting for shared_buffers even though I have 24G of memory. The
performance today is very good. Some questions I have: What data type should I use for fields that hold files? Is there anything that I should be aware of when putting files
into a field in a table? When PostgreSQL accesses a table that has fields that
contain files does it put the fields that contain the files into the shared_buffers
memory area? Thanks, Lance Campbell Project Manager/Software Architect Web Services at Public Affairs 217.333.0382 http://webservices.uiuc.edu |
