Re: work_mem

Hi Mr. Holger,

what is the setting that needs to be changed in the PostgreSQL 13
configuration to use it more efficiently?

I had just updated work_mem TO '256MB' my PC RAM is 32 GB; anything else we
need to do to make POSTGRESQL performance better.

Please advise in detail it will help all PostgreSQL users.

Thanks in advance
Sachin Kumar
