In my opinion very nice solution is building part of PostgreSQL database in memory - below it is instruction how to build PostgreSQL schema in memory in Linux. I tested this with my ROLAP solution for recalculation MOLAP cubes in memory and then join with master cube (this speeds up proces about 10 times!!! - but in other solution may be different). In grub (or other bootloader) you must declare ramdisk and then in OS: mke2fs /dev/ram0 mkdir /mnt/ram0 mount /dev/ram0 /mnt/ram0 mkdir /mnt/ram0/pgspace chown postgres:postgres /mnt/ram0/pgsapce The "/mnt/ram0/pgsapce" folder must be empty (ERROR: directory "/mnt/ram0" is not empty) And then you may create tables (in this schema of course) and write to them. Of course you must delete schema before shutdown PostgreSQL and OS - I dont't now how resolve problem with error when the schema was not deleted? - I have no time to think about it maybe anybody know how to restore db when the in memory schema was damaged?
