Use /dev/null. It is web scale, and there are good tutorials. But seriously, there *are* cases where "blind speed" is of use. When loading data into a fresh database is a good time for this; if things fall over, it may be pretty acceptable to start "from scratch" with mkfs/initdb. I'd: - turn off fsync - turn off synchronous commit - put as much as possible onto Ramdisk/tmpfs/similar as possible -- output = reverse("moc.liamg" "@" "enworbbc") http://linuxfinances.info/info/lsf.html 43% of all statistics are worthless. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
