True, but what happens when my database reaches 100 terabytes? Is 5

performance loss I am experiencing as the data becomes large is
(log the
# of records). This worries me because I could be doing something
wrong. Or I might be able to do something better.
Well a couple of things you could do, especially if you have the
ability
to throw hardware at it.
How many spindles do you have?

Hi,
I have been struggling with getting fulltext searching for very
large
databases. I can fulltext index 10s if gigs without any problem
but
when I start geting to hundreds of gigs it becomes slow. My
current
system is a quad core with 8GB of memory. I have the resource
to throw
more hardware at it but realistically it is not cost effective
to buy a
system with 128GB of memory. Is there any solutions that people
have
come up with for indexing very large text databases?
GIST indexes are very large.
Essentially I have several terabytes of text that I need to
index. Each
record is about 5 paragraphs of text. I am currently using
TSearch2
(stemming and etc) and getting sub-optimal results. Queries
take more
than a second to execute.
you are complaining about more than a second with a terabyte of
text?
Has anybody implemented such a database using
multiple systems or some special add-on to TSearch2 to make things
faster? I want to do something like partitioning the data into
multiple
systems and merging the ranked results at some master node. Is
something like this possible for PostgreSQL or must it be a
software
solution?
