I'm a BSD license fan, but, I don't know much about *BSD otherwise (except that many advocates say it runs PG very nicely). On the Linux side, unless your a dweeb, go with a newer, popular well supported release for Production. IMHO, that's RHEL 5.x or CentOS 5.x. Of course the latest SLES

Hi all, As the author of BenchmarkSQL and the founder of EnterpriseDB I can assure you that BenchmarkSQL was NOT written specifically for PostgreSQL.It is intended to be a completely database agnostic tpc-c like java based benchmark. However; as Jonah correctly points out in painstaking

If the real world applications you'll be running on the box are Java (or use lots of prepared statements and no stored procedures)... try BenchmarkSQL from pgFoundry. Its extremely easy to setup and use. Like the DBT2, it's an oltp benchmark that is similar to the tpc-c. --Denis Lussier http

I agree that OCFS 2.0 is NOT a general purpose PG (or any other) solution. My recollection is that OCFS gave about 15% performance improvements (same as setting some aggressive switches on ext3). I assume OCFS has excellent crash safety with its default settings but we did not test this as of yet.

My theory, based entirely on what I have read in this thread, is that a low end server (really a small workstation) with an Intel Dual Core CPU is likely an excellent PG choice for the lowest end.I'll try to snag an Intel Dual Core workstation in the near future and report back DBT2 scores

I was kinda thinking that making the Block Size configurable at InitDB time would be a nice simple enhancement for PG 8.3. My own personal rule of thumb for sizing is 8k for OLTP, 16k for mixed use, 32k for DWH. I have no personal experience with XFS, but, I've seen numerous internal
