Subject: Loading the entire DB into RAM
Date: Fri, 7 Apr 2006 11:37:34 -0300
Message-ID: <e6575a30604070737n20b2d7a4l33ba51dcbf4527a@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I have a web server with PostgreSQL and RHEL. It hosts a search
engine, and each time some one makes a query, it uses the HDD Raid
array. The DB is not very big, it is less than a GB. I plan to add
more RAM anyway.

What I'd like to do is find out how to keep the whole DB in RAM so
that each time some one does a query, it doesn't use the HDD. Is it
possible, if so, how?
Thanks,

Charles.
