Hi,

I  plan to put 7.4-RC2 in our production servers in next few hours.

Since the hardware config & the performance related GUCs parameter
are  going to remain the same i am interested in seeing the performance
improvements in 7.4 as compared 7.3 .

For this i plan to use the OSDB 0.14  and compare the results for both the
cases.

Does any one has suggestions for comparing 7.4 against 7.3 ?
Since i am using OSDB for second time only any tips/guidance
on usage of that is also appreciated.



H/W config:

CPU: 4 X Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.00GHz
MEM : 2 GB
I/O config : PGDATA on 10000 RPM Ultra160 scsi , pg_xlog on a similar
seperate SCSI

GUC:
shared_buffers = 10000
max_fsm_relations = 5000
max_fsm_pages = 55099264
sort_mem = 16384
vacuum_mem = 8192

All other performance related parameter have default
value eg:

#effective_cache_size = 1000    # typically 8KB each
#random_page_cost = 4           # units are one sequential page fetch cost
#cpu_tuple_cost = 0.01          # (same)
#cpu_index_tuple_cost = 0.001   # (same)
#cpu_operator_cost = 0.0025     # (same)



BTW i get following error at the moment:
