Re: [Performance] Daily Crash - Mailing list pgsql-performance

so i did the server upgrade to postgresql 7.3.2
and tunned it like you ppl said.

it works great.
plus my DB on postgresql 7.0 had 640 MB, including indexes, etc (files)
now it has only 140MB.
this is much better !

thank you for your help !

you can use no persistent link to database
see in php.ini

pgsql.allow_persistent = Off

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
    (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
