They didn't give me complete information, but it should be some kind
of industrial PC with a 600MHz CPU. Memory should be not huge nor
small, maybe a couple of GBytes, hard disk should be some type of
industrial Compact Flash of maybe 16 GBytes.
It should work perfectly OK.
Remember that you need a fast CPU if you have a database server that
processes many queries from many users simultaneously.
Since your "server" will process very few queries (maybe one per
second, something like that) even a slow (by modern standards) 600 MHz
CPU will be more than enough...
I'd say for such an application, your hardware is way overkill (it
would work on a smartphone...) but since hardware is so cheap...
A smartphone... you're right, I didn't think of that, but the hardware I
described is very much like the one of a modern smartphone!!!
Are you saying that PostgreSQL+PostGIS can actually run on a
smartphone??? Intriguing...
Did anyone ever actually tried that???
