Hi, Thanks for your answer, Concerning the second point, each db have different table that are logically related (for ex, tables for configuration, tables for business...) plus I'm planning to put the indexes on their own tablespaces. Concerning the disks I will maybe stored on multiple disks (but surely not 200-300). So I'm just wondering If this big number of tablespaces on a same db server may cause problems, Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-performance-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-performance-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Richard Huxton Sent: Friday, February 26, 2010 1:44 PM To: elias ghanem Cc: pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Multiple data base on same server On 26/02/10 09:37, elias ghanem wrote: > Hi, > > I'm using postgresql 8.4 > > I need to install multiple postgresql dbs on one server but I have some > questions: > > -Is there any problems (performance wise or other) if I have 10 to 15 DBs on > the same server? Clearly that's going to depend on what they're all doing and how big a server you have.
