Hey Thomas,
Although we have never corresponded, I just wanted to say thank you to
yourself and all the other hackers who have devoted their time voluntarily to
PostgreSQL. It really is appreciated.
Cheers

Indeed - I had a delayed post (sent from the wrong email address) which
mentioned that the cache is obviously at play here. I still find it
amazing that the file system would cache 2gb :) The numbers are
definitely correct though...they are actually the second set.
I'm running a test with a large
y, I can't rip memory out of this box as I don't have
exclusive access.

I threw together the attached program (compiles fine with gcc 2.95.2 on
Solaris 2.6 and egcs-2.91.66 on RedHat Linux 6.2) and ran it a few
times. Data is below. Usual disclaimers about hastily written code etc

You can get some tremendous gains by compressing HTTP sessions - mod_gzip
for Apache does this very well.
I believe SlashDot saves in the order of 30% of their bandwidth by using
compression, as do sites like http://www.whitepages.com.au/ and
http://www.yellowpages.com.au/
The mod_gzip trick is
.
Perhaps those infinitely more knowledgeable on the list have a better/more
correct way of doing things?

I run postgres on a box with two interfaces, and I only want it to bind to a
single one:
# start postgres
nohup > /dev/null su -c '/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -h 10.4.0.1 -i -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data > /usr/local/pgsql/log/server.log 2>&1' pos
http://www.yellowpages.com.au and http://www.whitepages.com.au (two of the
most popular sites in Australia).
By way of a cc to the PostgreSQL hackers list, this offer goes out to anyone
else who was effected by the GreatBridge shutdown.

than a couple of dozen people all over the world. Remember, these are the
people that still believe that all programmers are alike and can just be
swapped around on projects without any impact.
Hopefully, RedHat's involvement will boost the mindshare and image of
PostgreSQL and I
y.com suggests you may mean a transaction commit may
return multiple connections to the pool? I really have no idea what you mean
:)

TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives?

Hi all,
I've been using PostgreSQL for a couple of high performance projects
recently and have been extremely impressed - much kudos to all involved in
bringing it this far. One thing that is limiting is the lack of fault
tolerance and load balancing.
Anyway, I've recently started lurking on the
15 matches
