My understand from the docs is that I should dedicate 1.75gb to shared_buffers (25%) and set effective_cache_size to 7gb. Sounds like a reasonable starting point. You could certainly fiddle around a bit - especially with shared_buffers - to see if some other setting works better, but that should be in the ballpark. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
