An optimal configuration is not just about machine specs, it's about the workload and application configuration too. So there's no benchmark that would give you the best config for your application. > I'm looking for a hand-crafted set of data + queries tailored for OLAP > so that I can try to manually tweak one config at a time and run against > the benchmark. I think using pgtune is the best starting point you can get, and you may tweak it based on your actual workload. If you can prepare a sample of the workload (i.e. a representative amount of data) and run a set of actual queries (generated by the application), that'd be an excellent situation. > I might considering creating one if no one has done it before. So how exactly is that going to work? There's an benchmark for this, called TPC-H [1], but again - this is just a model of how a DWH/DSS application may look like. I've spent a lot of time working with it a while ago (see [2]), and IMHO the values recommended by pgtune are quite fine.
