Some ideas about szenarios and setting. This is meant as a discussion
proposal, I am by far not a database guru!
The settings do not provide a perfect setup but a more efficient as
compared to default setup.
criterias:
free memory
cpu ? what is the consequence?
separate spindels
total connections
Windows/linux/soloars ?
adapted settings:
max_connections
shared_buffers
effective_cache_size
/work_mem
//maintenance_work_mem
/checkpoint_segments ?
checkpoint_timeout ?
checkpoint_warning ?
Szenario a) 256 MB free memory, one disk or raid where all disks are in
the raid,
max_connections = 40
shared_buffers = 64MB
effective_cache_size = 180 MB
/work_mem = 1 MB
//maintenance_work_mem = 4 MB
/
Szenario b) 1024 MB free memory, one disk or raid where all disks are in
the raid
max_connections = 80
shared_buffers = 128 MB
effective_cache_size = 600 MB
/work_mem = 1,5 MB
//maintenance_work_mem = 16 MB
/
Szenario c) 2048 MB free memory, one disk or raid where all disks are in
the raid
max_connections = 160
shared_buffers = 256 MB
effective_cache_size = 1200 MB
/work_mem = 2 MB
//maintenance_work_mem = 32 MB
/
Szenario d) 2048 MB free memory, raid of multiple discs, second raid or
disk
max_connections = 160
shared_buffers = 256 MB
effective_cache_size = 1200 MB
/work_mem = 2 MB/
/maintenance_work_mem = 32 MB
/WAL on second spindle
