Re: Database Performance problem

Hello there!

Thank you for all the answers. The problem is solved.
When I edited the postgresql.conf (which still had the standard
configuration), and changed the following :

shared_buffers = 1024
sort_mem = 10000

I also restarted postgresql and everything that took approx. 55 seconds now took only 3 seconds!

Thanks.
Joepie.
