Thread: Performance benchmarking
Hello, I am an undergraduate of a university in Malaysia, if I want to do performance benchmark on PostgreSQL 8, do I need to geta license agreement or some sort of thing? Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ Check out some new online services that are so new they haven’t even been officially released yet! http://get.live.com/beta

No, you can do with it whatever you want, except blame/sue the copyrightholder for any problems you might have with it (software is AS IS).

Your license, provided without charge, is here: http://www.postgresql.org/about/licence As to benchmarking... Please be sure to read up on the postgresql.conf settings - the default settings are designed to get the server to start on a reasonably wide range of platforms. It is assumed that the DBA will update these settings as appropriate for the platform and workload in use. Failure to do so will have serious performance implications. Also be sure you are familiar with VACUUM and ANALYZE and the effect they have on performance. Cheers, Steve
