Hi there,
Recently, I've installed postgres 6.5 on a P3 450 396 megs of RAM. I'm
running Linux RedHat 6.2. I got a few db on it and one has around 2 millions records. When I boot my server, I do a 'free' and it tells me that I got around 300 megs of RAM free.
After I do a couple of requests like "Select count(ID) from Store" the memory fills itself and my system swaps a bit.
So, is there a way to limit the memory postgresql is allowed to use?
And, if anyone can point me out some docs or references on how postgresql/linux
manage its memory.
I would just add more memory to my machine, but it seems to me that it will always fills itself and swap some.
Regards,
