In the referenced section, Hellerstein, Stonebraker and Hamilton say: "any good multi-user system has an admission control policy" In the case of PostgreSQL I understand the counter-argument, although I'm inclined to think that it's prudent for a product to limit resource usage to a level at which it can still function well, even if there's an external solution which can also work, should people use it correctly. It seems likely that a mature admission control policy could do a better job of managing some resources than an external product could. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
