Thread: Performance tuning assisted by a GUI application
Hello, (Please pardon me if this is offtopic and I should send it to another mailing list instead) I had a brief discussion on #postgresql and thought that perhaps there might be a need for a tool that would enable a fine-tuning of PostgreSQL performance settings by conveniently testing them with a sample SQL query with the aid of a simple GUI application. To illustrate this, I created this little proof of concept: https://gist.github.com/d33tah/d01f3599e55e53d00f68 Screenshot can be found here: https://imgur.com/TguH6Xq This is by far not even alpha quality here and would need some basic Python knowledge to set up the connection string. This only supports modifying cpu_tuple_cost right now, but I guess that you can extrapolate where this would go. What do you think? Would anybody be interested in an application like this? Cheers, Jacek Wielemborek

Would anybody be interested in an application like this? Possibly not in hackers, but I think people on -general might be very interested. Now whether it's a good idea to hand them such a tool... ;) -- Jim Nasby, Data Architect, Blue Treble Consulting Data in Trouble? Get it in Treble! http://BlueTreble.com
