I'm trying to understand what exact parameters or configurations are adjusted when a PostgreSQL database system is going to be used as a 'stand-alone' or 'dedicated' server versus a shared or embedded database system? I have a server that's only going to be dedicated to running Linux and PostgreSQL software. Can someone please help me understand a few things I need to view or test with in order to get the most utilization from PostgreSQL & the dedicated hardware it will sit on top?
