Then a couple gigabytes should be enough to run it smoothly, assuming that those queries aren't doing things that need 100s of megabytes for sorting for each query. I'd start with a 2 or 3Gig VM, give 400 or so to shared_buffers, and set work_mem to something like 8 or 16Meg and see how it runs. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
