Are there guides, utilities or web pages published out there that help you determine the optimal settings for these
parameters?
How are folks settings these parameters where their product (with PostgreSQL included) is deployed under various
customerenvironments, say 50 different customers?
What improvements are occurring to have the PostgreSQL back-end "auto-tune" these parameters on install or on an
ongoingbasis?
