The rule of the thumb is to set this to a lower general value > (say, 1-2 MB), and set it per-query when needed. I'm slightly confused. Most things I've read, including running pg_tune for grins puts this around 100MB, 98MB for pgtune. 1-2MB just seems really low to me. And Ignore the 300 connections, thats an upper limit, I usually run a max of 40-45 but usually around 20 connections per sec. Also is there a way to log if there are any deadlocks happening (I'm not seeing them in logs) deadlock_timeout = 5s Tory -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
