Hi!

I am new to Postgresql.
I want to tune my Postgresql config, I used pgtune (
http://pgtune.leopard.in.ua/) to set my parameters, is it the best way to
set them?
I want to improve the database performance (time) choosing the best
configuration for my db.
The parameters of my system are: Ubuntu LTS 12.04 and 3635 MB of RAM.

And then : why does "ORDER BY" increase the query execution time ?

I have 3 dbs, the first one is 108 MB, the second one is 1200 MB and the
last one is 11 GB, why in the first two dbs to solve a query does it use
the bitmap heap scan, instead in the last one it uses the seq scan?

Thank you

Valentina
