Re: In memory Database for postgres

If you need to run some database really fast, try to put only all your
indexes onto ram disk. Look here... http://www.linux.com/feature/142658
They use SSD to store indexes (not data) for postgresql. A think the
same conclusions should apply for ram disk too.

And in wrost case (power off for RAM disk or wear out for SSD) you need
only a reindex to build your indexes again
