Tom, I understood your point on memory usage. Out of curiosity - 115200 buffers seems to be little less than 1 gig (I assume 1 buffer = 8k), so I could not get any closer to 2gigs anyways.... Is it practical experience that more than 50000 buggers actually hurts postgresql performance? Any ideas why? What about really big databases? > BTW, where did you get the idea that it was sensible to set work_mem > higher than maintenance_work_mem? That's just nuts. I was just playing with different settings to see if there is one I can adjust to get it started. > > See the pgsql-performance archives for past discussions of this topic. ok, thnx -- Vlad ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
