Also, you should be running at the very least the latest version of 7.3, which is 7.3.21 and available here: ftp://ftp-archives.postgresql.org/pub/source/ Tuning 7.3 is more an effort in futility at this point, considering that a non-tuned 8.3 or 8.4 install will still be much much faster. If the lack of auto-casts in 8.3 impacts you negatively then at least look at 8.2.latest. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
