Обсуждение: Optimizing postgresql.conf for dedicated windows server 2003 x64 standard edition
I installed PostgreSql 9.0 Win 64 standard distro. Stack builder offered in end of installation does not contain postgresql.conf optimization wizard. How to optimize postgresql.conf for 64 bit dedicated postgresql windows 2003 server or is default .conf file best for this? Andrus.

It depends on how write-heavy the database will be, how much memory you have to spare, and what sort of data you keep in it. I'm absolutely certain you will need to alter the config from the defaults. It's set up to be very conservative by default.

I just installed 9.0 x64 Is it sufficient to run Program files / PostgreSql 9.0 / Application Stack Builder from this installation to get it ? Will it set optimal configuration so that manual editing of postgresql.conf is not required ? Andrus.

It will generate a starter configuration, that will be based on your selected workload type and machine resources. That may be fine for your needs, or you may need to tune it to more precisely meet the needs of your actual workload. It doesn't claim to eliminate the need for any future manual tuning. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company

How to configure automatically Linux and Mac servers ? How to configure remote servers where only port 5432 is open ? Why pgAdmin postgresql.conf editor does not contain automatic configurator ?

Because it can't examine the server spec remotely through libpq, and because noone wrote it yet. And I'm not sure we'd want it in pgAdmin anyway as such functionality is somewhat outside the realm of what pgAdmin does. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company

You need to be able to modify postgresql.conf . > Why pgAdmin postgresql.conf editor does not contain automatic > configurator ? Because nobody has written one for PgAdmin. The EnterpriseDB configuration assistant is a commercial product that EnterpriseDB are letting people use for free. Nobody's stepped up to do the incredible amount of testing and benchmarking required to create a configuraton assistant for inclusion in PgAdmin. Such tools are a guide at best; they won't just magically configure your system perfectly. All databases need a degree of tuning to achieve optimal performance, and PostgreSQL is no exception. -- Craig Ringer Tech-related writing at http://soapyfrogs.blogspot.com/

On RHEL/CentOS, I'd use the following from a root command prompt: /opt/PostgreSQL/9.0/stackbuilder/bin/stackbuilder & I assume the same would work on Debian, though you might need to use sudo as with Ubuntu. The installers aren't supported on Debian though, so I don't know if it'll work. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company

1. Tuning wizard adds autovacuum = true line even if autovacuum is turned on: #autovacuum = on # Enable autovacuum subprocess? 'on' # NOTE: This parameter is been added by EnterpriseDB's Tuning Wiard on 2010/10/18 11:19:56 autovacuum = true # Enable autovacuum subprocess? 'on' 2. Wizards adds values without units. It is difficult to figure out how much memory changed settings really take. How to force tuning wizard to add changes in real units if server supports them, e.q. with KB or MB suffixes like in normal postgresql.conf file? Andrus.
