Hello,
 
we are using PostgreSQL 8.0.3 together with RAID on OpenServer 6.
 
When we do a big SELECT-query the whole maschine becomes very very very slowly or stands.
The maschine has 3 GB RAM, so we suppose it`s the RAID.
 
Has anyone some experience with RAID + PostgreSQL?
 
Where does PostgreSQL saves his temporary files? Perhaps these are the reason for the bad performance.
 
Greetings
 
Michaela
