Hi...

I'm newbie, and confuse on configuration....

I already installed postgresql 7.0.3 on Compaq Proliant ML 350 - Intel
Pentium III 600 - RAM 128 MB.
Operating system is linux on distribution SuSE 6.4
This server only running database itself. Directory '/data' is independent
partition and size is 3GB
This database is used for application with intensive querries and around 30
connection at a time.
Postmaster configuration is default.

Problem comes up with decrease performace of query result when connection
reached around 30, long wait situatioon is like you can make a cup of coffee
on the kitchen...around 12 second. The bad news is...broken pipe() and all
connection to postgresql is gone...

The application using 'begin...commit' method.

Any suggestion to increase performance of my postgresql....at least great
configuration for postmaster and hardware...?
Pleasse.... :-)

It is hard to tell with the information you are giving, but perhaps you
are hitting the default limit for the number of simultaneous backends
(32). You can increase this by passing -N <number> to postmaster at
startup from the command line (naturally, this should be greater than 32,
perhaps 64). Increasing the number of backends necessitates the increasing
of the number of buffers.

More info in the postgres documentation.

Your system clock is not correct.
