I find your table structure anyway somewhat strange. For an ordinary parent/child relationship a parent_id column in the customer table would be enough.

[GENERAL] Shared memory usage in PostgreSQL 9.1
For a PostgreSQL 9.1.1 instance, I have used the following postgresql.conf settings: max_connections = 100 shared_buffers = 400MB wal_buffers = 16MB All the other parameters have been left as default values. When I startup the instance, I get an error message saying that the shared memory does not suffice and 451837952 Bytes would be used. However, this is not what I expect when calculating the needs according to the documentation, Table 17-2 at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/kernel-resources.html According to that table the usage would be: Connections: 1908000 Bytes Autovac workers: 57240 Bytes Prepared transactions: 0 Bytes Shared disk buffers: 400MB WAL buffers: 16MB Fixed space: 788480 Bytes Sum: 435145336 This is about 16MB less than what is really requested. How can this substantial discrepancy be explained? For PostgreSQL 9.1, some important item must be missing in Table 17-2, or some values are wrong. -- Christoph -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

Hi, the documentation is not exact, in this area. It's rather an overview than exhaustive description, but I admit it's a bit confusing. There are internal pieces that are not accounted for in the docs, and part of the discrepancy probably comes from 32bit vs. 64bit differences. Do you need to know an exact value or are you just interested why the values in docs are not exact? If you want to see what exactly needs how much memory, check the src/backend/storage/ipc/ipci.c file in sources.

I'm writing an installation script that calculates the necessary IPC memory and increases the limit on the OS level (kernel.shmmax) if needed. I want to increase the limit only as much as really necessary, so I need to calculate the IPC usage as exactly as possible. (Btw, what negative consequences - if any - does it have if I set kernel.shmmax higher as necessary, like all available memory? Does this limit serve only as a protection against greedy applications?) > If you want to see what exactly needs how much memory, check the > src/backend/storage/ipc/ipci.c file in sources.

So it seems the values in the docs are only correct for a 32 bit server. But I still don't understand this: In our example, we have set shared_buffers to: 400 MB = 419430400 Bytes but according to your log the used memory is: buffers = 424669472 Bytes This is a discrepancy of 1.25%. The difference could be explained by taking credit for the descriptors which may not be comprised in the shared_buffers setting, even if the shared_buffers value is set in memory units. But according to the docs, the descriptors should use 208/8192 = 2.5%. And on a 64bit machine, the descriptors should use even more memory, i.e. up to 5%.

It does not include the descriptors and other freelist related stuff that is also needed to build the shared buffer pool.

You might want to try the PostGIS lists instead.

Re: [GENERAL] Shared memory usage in PostgreSQL 9.1

This remaining discrepancy can probably be explained by additional overhead for a PostgreSQL 9.1 64bit server vs. a PostgreSQL 8.3 32bit server for which the table was valid. And this additional overhead obviously is created per max_connections, not per shared_buffers. While the docs suggest there should be 19kB per connection, we measured about 45kB per connection. This explains the about 2MB difference when max_connections is 100. -- Christoph -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
Re: [GENERAL] Shared memory usage in PostgreSQL 9.1
Am 03.12.2011 18:02, schrieb Christoph Zwerschke: 400 MB = 419430400 Bytes but according to your log the used memory is: buffers = 424669472 Bytes This is a discrepancy of 1.25%. The difference could be explained by taking credit for the descriptors which may not be comprised in the shared_buffers setting, even if the shared_buffers value is set in memory units. But according to the docs, the descriptors should use 208/8192 = 2.5%. And on a 64bit machine, the descriptors should use even more memory, i.e. up to 5%. Just to clear up that last unexplained discrepancy, the problem is that I wrongly assumed the descriptors were the only overhead to the shared buffers. In reality it is more complex, e.g. additional memory for locks is reserved for each shared buffer. The 208 Bytes in the docs refer to the total overhead a shared buffer creates, while the value in Tomas' log contained only the overhead caused by the descriptors. Sorry for creating the noise and confusion. -- Christoph -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
