Обсуждение: few questions ..?
Hi All, I have few questions, kindly suggest your comments on this..
1. Is that postgres supports distributed database ? In oracle, by creating Dblink we can communicate the
remorte
database from the local one. How you could implement this in postgres
database.
2. Is there any way to cache the table on memorry ? In oracle, we can use the cache statement at the table
creation
itself.
3. List out the main tuning parameters in postgres.conf to take care of
supporing millions of records.
Thanks & Regards
Vijay

See contrib/dblink. I think someone is looking at linking to Oracle too (but I might be wrong about that). > 2.

If you're using the table regularly it should end up in cache. If you're not using it regularly, you probably didn't want it in cache anyway. > 3.

See http://www.varlena.com/varlena/GeneralBits/Tidbits/index.php There are two documents there describing the various config settings and the basics of performance tuning. Millions of records don't need too much tuning even on a standard PC, but the standard config settings are *very* conservative. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
