Hi All,
I have a database of 10GB.
My Database Server has a RAM of 16GB
Is there a way that I can load all the database objects to memory?
Thanks for your time and taking a look at this question.
Thanks
Deepak

Deepak,
please don't cross-post the same question to 3 different lists.
The short answer is no, you cannot force PostgreSQL to load all
objects into memory.
However when you proper configure PostgreSQL most, if not all of your
data will be cached
by the OS and/or PostgreSQL shared memory system.

Increase effective_cache_size parameter.
An "effective_cache_size=11GB" should be more than enough.

Sorry, but that is quite wrong.
effective_cache_size only affects the planner, not memory utilization.
You can use shared_buffers=11GB to give PostgreSQL memory enough
to buffer all of a 10GB database in memory. But that does not
automatically put all the tables in memory.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe

Just replying to pgsql-general...
Yeah, just select * from table for each table, then they'll be in
kernel cache and ready to go.
