Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to PostgreSQL Reliability on Windows 2000

Collapse
Posted by russ m on
We've had a look at deploying on 2K for one particular client. We
got OACS and the custom app we've developed for them up and
running, but postgresql was never stable enough to deploy -
whenever we tried to import the data from their old system PG
would start dying with shared memory errors. Adding a .25
second delay between record insertions let us get the system
fully loaded, but we'd see the same database crashes whenever
we stressed the system.

Personally, I'd be very wary of running PG under production loads
on windows, but perhaps that's just me...
