We are in the process of building a new machine for our production database. Below you will see some of the harware specs for the machine. I need some help with setting these parameters (shared buffers, effective cache, sort mem) in the pg_conf file. Also can anyone explain the difference between shared buffers and effective cache , how these are allocated in the main memory (the docs are not clear on this).
Here are the Hardware details: Operating System: Red Hat 9 Database Ver: Postgres 7.4 CPU'S : 4 RAM : 4 gig Datafile layout : RAID 1+0 Transaction log : on different RAID1 Array RAID Stripe Size: 8k
Thanks! Pallav
