checkpoints

We are starting to ramp-up testing of our application, and we started getting these messages in our log file:

LOG: checkpoints are occurring too frequently (15 seconds apart)
HINT: Consider increasing the configuration parameter "checkpoint_seg ments".
LOG: recycled transaction log file "00000000000000 45"
LOG: recycled transaction log file "00000000000000 46"
LOG: recycled transaction log file "00000000000000 44"

So I gather that we should bump up the number for checkpoint_segm ents, but I'm wondering:

1) what is reasonable rule-of-thumb for what this value should be? (we are at the default right now)
2) should checkpoint_time out be changed at the same time?
3) should I increase wal_buffers in conjunction with checkpoint_segm ents?

Thanks!

I read recently that: "if a before-image was made before an interruption in database processing, you use the before-image dump & simply begin processing again from just before the last transaction. Any checkpoints are irrelevant." I'm not a dba here, so bear with me... What I don't understand is, why are checkpoints irrelevant when you did a before image dump? Why not begin from the last checkpoint? Probably part of my problem is...

I just fixed a bug that some of the correctness pedants around here may find useful as ammunition. The problem was that some code would, very occasionally, die with a segmentation violation error. (Not as infrequent as some bugs that have been discussed here in the past, but maybe once in an overnight run of the program when it was configured to aggressively exercise the section that the bug was in.) It was easy enough to trap the...

Greetings, I have a 23GB data table upon which I am building a primary key of three columns. The data is mounted in a 137GB device and pg_xlog is mounted on a separate 3.5GB device. I have configured 24 checkpoint segments, which I expect gives me a worst-case usage in pg_xlog of 384MB. Unfortunately, during the CREATE INDEX, pg_xlog becomes full!

I'm using PostgreSQL 7.3.4 on RH9. Data and logs are on separate disks. (These are low-end IDE disks. That part of the problem is out of my control.) When a checkpoint occurs, all operations slow way, way down. iostat of the data disk shows that, during a checkpoint, reads/sec drops from 25-30 to under 0.5. Writes/sec go up, from 40-45 before the checkpoint, to 80-85 during. My test program does a mixture of 1/2 reads and 1/2 inserts,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
