I was working in the past with postgres in some machines with only 192mb ram shared with Linux Os (redhat9 and conectiva10) with KDE, Apache and Postfix, the exact version was 7.4 and pgsql work fine withput problems and many coneccionts because this machine were a public web server. The configutation was the default configuration in Conectiva without changes and all work fine. Now I am trying to compile Pgsql in some architectures like Via but now my problem is the OS (Linux of course), I hope to install Pgsql 8.3 in a machine with very little resources like an OLPC (I am trying to have an AMD Geod in a Mini ITX mainboard). good luck 2008/9/14 Martin Langhoff <martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx>: > On Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 11:55 AM, Martin Langhoff > <martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> ... so RAM allocation for Pg will prob range between 32MB at the >> lower-end and 128MB/196MB at the 1GB "recommended" RAM. > > Assuming a 128MB target, I've been poking and probing with the > postgresql.conf and the new settings... > > - 1/4 of it to shared buffers > - 45 max connections - matched to a max of 40 apache/php processes > - 2MB work_mem (some complex queries in Moodle require sorts) > > means 32MB shmem and an unlikely maximum of 90MB taken for work_mem. > There is 6MB left over in my "budget" which I expect will be consumed > by per-connection overheads.
