Re: [Performance] Daily Crash

Dear Catalin,

What I understand from ur post is,
1. U are using PHP for connection. what version ??? assuming u are on PHP
version >4.2.X
2. Ur Postgresql server is not tuned to handle loads.

What U can try is ......

1.Make sure that ur PHP scripts close the connection when transaction is
complete (HOW??? see after pg_connect

U see a pg_close function of PHP)
a. Use pg_pconnect and forget about pg_connect and pg_close
2. Increse the limit of connection to be made to PostgreSQL this can be
done as said by Shridhar the default is 32
3. For God sake Upgrade to PostgreSQL 7.3.2 and PHP 4.3.1 you are missing a
lot with that old versions.

Some people think it's holding on that makes one strong;
sometimes it's letting go.
================================

i have php 4.2.3
i use pg_pConnect and no pg_Close.

thanks for yours advices.
i will upgrade to postgresql 7.2.3 asap
and see if there are improvments !

thanks again !

Um, that's 7.2.4. 7.2.3 has a couple of bugs in it.

Also, you are going to have to edit your postgresql.conf file per the
suggestions already made on this list.

pgsql.allow_persistent = Off

so i did the server upgrade to postgresql 7.3.2
and tunned it like you ppl said.

it works great.
plus my DB on postgresql 7.0 had 640 MB, including indexes, etc (files)
now it has only 140MB.
this is much better !

thank you for your help !
