Simple script to analyse your PostgreSQL database config, give tuning advice
You know, PostGres is a great database system, but its core data structure is prone to awful performance degradation if you have a lot of out of date rows, and sometimes the autovacuumer can't keep up.<p>There is something to be said for simpler B-Tree style databases like MySQL that are harder to screw up!<p>Also perhaps there could be an optional mode for Postgres that did something to the effect of immediate vacuuming for all modification statements. Collecting garbage as soon as its made. At the cost of slower statements, but no long term degradation. More predictable performance.
