Hi,
we have a client that has a table that holds transactions from sales and
it is now at 10 million rows. it was in MS Access and they could only
hold 2 million rows, so we installed Postgres for them and they dumped
10 million rows from the mainframe into Postgres.
I was just wondering if anyone had suggestions for optimizing the
postgresql.conf file and how much OS shared memory I should
reserve(RedHat is set by default to have 128mb of shared memory).
We are running on RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 AS on a dual processor P4
Xeon with 2.5 gb of ram.
The table in question has 20 fields and I could post the DDL of the
table if needed.
Thanks,
