It seams that any backup and recovery sucks. My main db backup takes over two hours to complete and 13 hours to recover what am I doing wrong? Any hints?ideas? Recommendations?
Increasing sort_mem dramatically (say, 128M) will greatly speed things up - especially with foriegn key creation and index creation (Those two things are what takes the longest in a PG restore). Be sure to turn it back down to something normal after the store (If you didn't change it on a single session)
However a 500k row table is not terribly big.. How big is the dump in terms of MB?
