Обсуждение: Quick Question!
Hi: A really simple question: I wanna set up some WAL related config parameter. I am wondering is it the same to add those parameter on postgresql.conf as to add them on /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgres.init??
Hi, I am about to put a 7.1.2 server into production on RedHat 7.1 The server will be dedicated to PostgreSQL, running a bare minimum of additional services. If anyone has already tuned the configurable parameters on a dual PIII w/ 1GB RAM then I will have a great place to start for my performance tuning! When I'm done I'll be posting my results here for the next first timer that comes along. Thanks in advance, Adam

But i am very interested in your investigations. Could you please pm me, if you have something of interest? thanks janning > When I'm done I'll be posting my results here for the next first timer that > comes along. > > Thanks in advance, > > Adam > > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? > > http://www.postgresql.org/search.mpl -- Planwerk 6 /websolutions Herzogstra�e 86 40215 D�sseldorf fon 0211-6015919 fax 0211-6015917 http://www.planwerk6.de

I have a similar system. It's a dual PII-450MHz Xeon with 512MB of RAM running RH7.1 and 7.1.2. As far as performance tuning goes, here's the relevant lines from the postgresql.conf file we're using: max_connections = 64 # 1-1024 sort_mem = 8192 shared_buffers = 192 fsync = false Obviously, depending on your needs, you can adjust those. If you've got a 1GB of RAM, I'd set everything high and not worry about it. * Philip Molter * DataFoundry.net * http://www.datafoundry.net/ * philip@datafoundry.net

I've just did a quick read of Bruce's article in Linux Journal. My take
is this is more than a hardware issue. Table size, indexes (indices?)
verses sequential scans will come into play. I don't think you can even
really test without some relevant data, queries, etc.
Again this was a very quick read of the article.
Thanks Bruce. It looks enlightening.
Cheers,
Rod

Hi all, Just added these figures to a new document : http://techdocs.postgresql.org/techdocs/perftuningfigures.php As people provide/submit figures and details of the equipment they use, I'll post them onto this page. Hopefully it will become a good set of real world guidelines for people, etc. Standardised benchmarks would be nice to though. :-) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift Philip Molter wrote: > > On Tue, Jul 10, 2001 at 07:44:34AM -0400, Adam Manock wrote: > : Hi, > : > : I am about to put a 7.1.2 server into production on RedHat 7.1 > : The server will be dedicated to PostgreSQL, running a bare minimum of > : additional services. > : If anyone has already tuned the configurable parameters on a dual PIII w/ > : 1GB RAM then I > : will have a great place to start for my performance tuning! > : When I'm done I'll be posting my results here for the next first timer that > : comes along. > > I have a similar system.

Sure would be nice....
Here's some preliminary results of my testing...
System: RedHat Linux 7.1, kernel 2.4.3smp (i686)
Dual PIII 733 / 133FSB 1024MB RAM
2 18Gb 10000rpm U160 SCSI drives, hardware RAID1
added to /etc/sysctl.conf:
kernel.shmmax = 268435456
kernel.shmall = 268435456
PG 7.1.2
postgresql-7.1.2-4PGDG binary rpm set
relevant entries from postgresql.conf:
max_connections = 32
sort_mem = 4096
shared_buffers = 32000
fsync = true
The only benchmark I have is almost useless but I'll put it here anyway...
time ./pg_regress --schedule=parallel_schedule
(using postmaster on Unix socket, default port)
...
