Dear all,

Just a quick message about postgresql.conf auto-configuration.

When MySQL users test PostgreSQL, they load their data and run simple
SQL queries. If postgresql.conf is configured with default values, it
may produce slow results.

Would there be a way for postgresql.conf to auto configure?

This is how MySQL works. Nothing is configurable. And people love it. So
why not implement a simple auto configuration mechanism which would set
basic parameters.

Example
autotune=true;
autotune_profile='web site';
autotune_profile='dedicated SQL server';

...

Kind regards,
Jean-Michel
