Also, it's *worlds* easier to tell users: "set shared_buffers to 1/4 of your RAM, butnot more than 8GB." then to tell them: "set shared_buffers to X, and work_mem to Y, and maintenance_work_mem to Z ..." That is, if there's one and only one setting users need to change, they are more likely to do it. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
