depends on how soon do you need to access that data after it's being created, the way I do it in my systems, I get data from 8 points, bit less than you - but I dump it to csv, and import it on database host (separate server). now, you could go to BDB or whatever, but that's not the solution. So, I would try dumping it to a file, and have separate process, maybe separete server that would import it, store it, as database. Whatever you do, as guys said - partition. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
