Re: PostgreSQL Performance

Sidnei,

In principle, yes, postgres can do quite well (we use 2 CPU boxes with 2 gigs of RAM for most of our production servers), but a lot would depened on what sort of use your database gets -- all read and bulk updates ? Or lots of updates ? Are the queries complex ? etc., etc. How fast are the disk drives, and how many of them are ?

If you give people a bit more information you'll get more useful answers.

Subject: [ADMIN] PostgreSQL Performance
Hi all

Actually I have the Oracle Database. I am searching about others
Databases Soluctions.

I have a server with 2 processors (XEON 2.8) and 2Gb of RAM memory.

The size of my actual Database is 5Gb and the it has 300 simultaneous
access.

The postgreSQL provide a good performance to my application?
How I could search about?
Thank you very much...
