Dear All ,
Could you please confirm if the Postgres community version can support the 128GB RAM and 4 processors expandable upto 8 processors (each quad core).
Warm regards

Not sure what you mean by "community edition". There's PostgreSQL. From the postgresql.org website, which is what most folks use. I've run it on 40 hyperthreaded CPUS (80 virtual cores) and it worked just fine and used all 80 cores with enough parallel processes running. Can a single query use > 1 core? not. Not the way the engine is designed.

Cool. I've personally tested and used pgsql machines with 128G of memory and 4 of the AMD 12 core opteron cores and another with 4 of the newer 10 core Xeons with hyperthreading and gotten good pgbench and real numbers and real world performance. But that was for massively parallel operations from thousands of real or simulated users funnelled through a connection pooler. Your specific test case will determine the answer to your question. Do you need to have 1 query exercise 48 cores at once? Or do you need to have dozens of different processes run quickly? Are you looking at data warehousing large data sets, a transactional workload on a relatively small data set? or...

Thanks Scott .
"community edition" means There is no license fees for using PostGresql as it is Open Source database .
