Re: Can I have a look at your TuningWizard generated config file?

[Jennifer Trey <jennifer.trey@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is autovacuum on by default? 

or do I uncomment

#autovacuum = on 

and 

#track_counts = on

to enable it? Anything else I should do?

Thanks / Jennifer

Ok. I will.. when it comes to the other settings, like autovacuum and such. Could I have a look at yours ? :)

I will list the ones that I find important and that i already have figured out good values for, please fill in if there is more I should look at:

max_connections

effective_cache

random_page_cost

maintenance_work_mem

shared_buffers

work_mem

max_fsm_pages(scratched)

max_fsm_relations(scratched)

wal_buffers

But then there is the log and autovacuum stuff that I have no idea about and that believe that I could just take from someone else and not really machine dependant.. 

Thanks in advance / Jennifer

AFAICS, the edb tuning wizard has not (yet) been updated to support
PostgreSQL 8.4. The hints it gives are for 8.3 and earlier. It would
probably be a good idea if they gave a warning for that, but I take it
they don't :-)

There may be other issues as well, so read up on the documentation for
anything else it recommends to change.

As for these two values, you can just ignore them - they are tuned
dynamically on 8.4.
