Thanks for ur suggestion, already I have gone through that url, with that help I was able to make my configuration to work for 5K queries/second. The parameters I changed was shared_buffer, work_mem, maintenance_work_mem and effective_cache. Still I was not able to reach my target. Can u kindly tell me ur postgres configurations thereby I can get some idea out of it. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/postgres-performance-tunning-tp3307846p3310337.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - performance mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
