Appendix I. Configuring Postgres Pro for 1C Solutions
You can install and use Postgres Pro with 1C solutions in a client/server model. For optimal performance and stability, modify the following settings in the postgresql.conf
configuration file of Postgres Pro server:
Increase the maximum number of allowed concurrent connections to the database server, up to 1000 connections. 1C solutions can open a large number of connections, even if not all of them are used, so it is recommended to allow not less than 500 connections.
max_connections = 1000
To ensure that temporary tables are handled correctly, modify the following parameters:
Increase the buffer size for temporary tables:
temp_buffers = 32MB
Increase the number of allowed locks of tables or indexes per transaction to 256:
max_locks_per_transaction = 256
Typically, 1C solutions use a lot of temporary tables. Every backend process usually contains multiple temporary tables. When closing a connection, Postgres Pro tries to drop all temporary tables in a single transaction, so this transaction may use a lot of locks. If the number of locks exceeds the
max_locks_per_transaction
value, the transaction will fail, leaving multiple orphaned temporary tables.
Enable backslash escapes in all strings, and switch off the warning about using the backslash escape symbol:
standard_conforming_strings = off escape_string_warning = off
Set the
effective_cache_size
parameter to at least half of RAM available on the system. Postgres Pro query optimizer performance depends on the amount of allocated RAM.Optimize query planning using
online_analyze
andplantuner
extensions, as follows:Add
online_analyze
andplantuner
to theshared_preload_libraries
variable.shared_preload_libraries = 'online_analyze, plantuner'
Enable automatic analysis of temporary tables when they are modified:
online_analyze.table_type = 'temporary'
Tune Postgres Pro optimizer to improve planning for recently created empty tables:
plantuner.fix_empty_table = 'on'
Suppress detailed messages from the
online_analyze
extension:online_analyze.verbose = 'off'
Tip
To improve performance, you can also use redundant array of independent disks (RAID) technology based on non-volatile cache RAID controllers with uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Since this technology ensures data consistency in case of hardware failure, you can speed up disk writes by disabling the fsync
parameter. Additionally, increasing the RAID controller cache volume and the number of disks in the RAID array can improve performance even with enabled fsync
.
