With 2 GB RAM I'd go for about this: (assuming you're using Linux)
shared_buffers = 32768
sort_mem = 61440
vacuum_mem = 32768
effective_cache_size = 64000
that should give you a start.
You might have to adjust your shmall and shmmax
parameters, again assuming you're using linux.
(you have to edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file)
There's good stuff on the web, try google and feed it with
"postgres shared_buffers effective_cache_size" or
"linux shmall shmmax"
regards,
Oli

Betreff: [PERFORM] Can you help me?
Hello all!
I'm a new to Postgresql , I have never used it before.
I am having an issue with configure the postgresql.conf file.
The machine itself is a 2.66GHz P4 w/ 2G memory.
Would you mind to send me a copy of examples .(postgresql.conf)
Maybe you can tell me how to configure these parameters.
Thanks
Sincerely,
Chris.Wu
