I don't have that kind of load on any of my installations. Postgres users have their own problems. Postgres doesn't handle many client connections as well as mysql (afaik). Also, client connection startup is (or at least was) much more expensive for postgres. In fact, that was one of my main reasons for adapting connection pooling in 2.3. > What sort of numbers can we expect from this combination of hardware. > We're already planning to scale the setup with a separated backend > for new users and perdition to map the pop3/imap services so we're > not worried about scaling, but i'd be interested to hear of people > running higher than 6k users in mysql and what hardware theyre using. I think Mike O'Brian is/was running that sort of numbers and more, but I haven't seen him around here for some time. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list DBmail@dbmail.org http://mailman.fastxs.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
