Or may be someone will back port it to 9.2 pg_dump. Also during restore you can speed up a little more by disabling fsync and synchronous_commit. > This is my current configuration > > Postgres version 9.2.2 > connections 1000 > shared buffers 4096MB > work_mem = 2048MB > maintenance_work_mem = 2048MB > checkpoint_segments = 103 > > the other params are by default. > > Thankyou very much > > -- > Atentamente, > > > JEISON BEDOYA DELGADO > Adm.
