That would be 78MB RAM. If you have more than that available, you can increase it further. Ideally, it should be about 2/3 to 3/4 of available RAM. >The query now > takes 4 secs.

Actually, for a itty bitty database on a fast machine, you definitely want to lower random_page_cost. It's a large database that would make you cautious about this. -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
