To be honest, I think we could use a "newbie's guide to PostgreSQL performance tuning". I've seen rather good guides for query tuning, and guides for general performance tuning, but none that really cover both in a coherent way. (Also, many of the ones I've seen start getting rather dated; after bitmap index scans arrived, for instance, many of the rules with regard to index planning probably changed.) I'd guess http://www.powerpostgresql.com/PerfList is a rather good start for the second part (and it's AFAICS under a free license); having something like that in the docs (or some other document) would probably be a good start. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
