Hi to all,
 
I have the following configuration:
Dual Xeon 2.8 Ghz, 1G RAM and postgre 8.0.3 installed.
 
Modified configuration parameters:
 
max_connections = 100
 
shared_buffers = 64000  # 500MB = 500 x 1024 x 1024 / (8 x 1024) (8KB)
work_mem = 51200  # 50MB = 50 x 1024 KB
maintenance_work_mem = 102400 # 50MB = 100 x 1024 KB
 
checkpoint_segments = 10
 
effective_cache_size = 25600 # 200MB = 50 x 1024 / 8
 
client_min_messages = notice 
log_min_messages = notice
log_min_duration_statement = 2000
 
 
 
I get the feeling the server is somehow missconfigured or it does not work at full parameter. If I look at memory allocation, it never goes over 250MB whatever I do with the database. The kernel shmmax is set to 600MB. Database Size is around 550MB.
 
 
Need some advise.
 
Thanks.
Andy.
