Hello,
We are running PostgresPlus 8.4AS on a linux system. I don't need to edit
the config files or to restart the clusters (the DBA will do that for us).
I only need access to help troubleshoot performance issues with the
databases.
My question is: would pgAdmin be sufficient for what i need to do? From
what I understand, i can check the status of the database, view the
postgresql logs, the postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf.
I appreciate your input for my question.
TIA.

The DBA should do that job.

I didn't know what PostgresPlus was so I looked it up. Firstly it has
tools for tuning PostgreSQL and secondly, it is a tools package for
the Enterprise version of PostgreSQL, so presumably you can get the
support that you presumably paid for.
Cheers,
Cliff

Good Evening,
Before tuning the hardware settings I usually execute an EXPLAIN to see the
execution path Postgres uses. A good start to understanding the EXPLAIN
functionality is here http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Using_EXPLAIN .
Since you're using pgAdmin this is a better tutorial
http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/index.php?/archives/27-Reading-PgAdmin-Graphical-Explain-Plans....
Sometimes using an join instead of a subselect or indexing greatly
improves a query even before trying to optimize the default postgres
settings.
Thanks
-Mark
