1. Make PGSQL faster

   Torsten Schulz <tsschulz@gmx.net> — 2003-03-20T18:53:27Z

   Hi,
   
   we have a great Database with Postgres. It is a Community.
   
   We have a Dual-CPU-System with 1 GB RAM
   
   It works on Apache with PHP. But we hadn't enough Performance.
   
   What's the optimized configuration with many Database-actions on great 
   tables in  a lapp-system?
   
   Greetings
   Torsten

   It is hard to say without more information, but it may be that you
   should increase the buffers used by postgres - 1000 is a good starting
   point.
   
   My experience suggests that performance is not a 'general' thing
   applying to the whole application but in most cases the bad performance
   will be one query out of a hundred.
   
   In my applications I wrap my calls to PostgreSQL so I can log the amount
   of time each query took (in microseconds).  Then when I have a query
   that takes 10mS, I know I can ignore it and concentrate on the one that
   takes 20000mS instead.
