cjo*_*nes 7 postgresql optimization memory centos cpu
I've been running a function on the database that is going into each table, ALTER COLUMN on all columns of a certain data type, and CAST to remove trailing zeros. About 115 tables varying from a few thousand records to a few hundred thousand records. It has been running for almost 24 hours and my approximate calculation until time of completion is about 58 hours.
I have htop up and checking on it regularly.
I should mention this is a clean install of CentOS minimal as of yesterday with really only PostgreSQL 9.6.5 on it. Two quad core CPUs and 32GB of RAM.
According to htop my mem is at 620M/31.3G and it maxes out one core at a time, never really utilizing other cores at the same time. It seems like I have a ton of head room as far as CPU and RAM utilization. It seems if I could properly setup PostgreSQL to utilize more of the CPU and RAM, process like I am running now would run much faster. Maybe I am wrong.
What are some settings that can be adjusted, whether in Postgres or in CentOS, that will allow for more utilization?
My postgresql.conf is pretty much at default settings:

中的默认设置postgresql.conf非常保守，通常很低。
我建议进行以下更改：
shared_buffers到整个内存的 1/8，但总共不超过 4GB。effective_cache_size为total memory available for postgresql - shared_buffers（实际上是系统用于文件缓存的内存大小）random_page_cost到 110% seq_page_cost，但您应该测试此更改是否有影响。它基本上使 postgres 进行索引扫描而不是顺序扫描postgres wiki 有一些关于调整基本参数的更多信息：https : //wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Tuning_Your_PostgreSQL_Server
如果可能的话，您还应该考虑使该过程并行运行，而不是一张接一张地运行。这将使您的过程能够充分利用硬件的功能。
