Please join the beta test program. Comments and suggestions are welcome!

Many people helped us in making this reality. Especially I would like to thank to:

Guillaume Lelarge: enhanced pcp commands, lots of patches, French translation and more...
Masao Fujii: gave us valuable info about streaming replication of PostgreSQL 9.0

PostgreSQL 9.0 and pgpool-II endurance test

I have started to run an endurance test of PostgreSQL 9.0beta4 and pgpool-II 3.0-dev on Aug 12 17:47.
The hardware: two dual-core opteron 2.2GHz, 2GB mem.
One is used for the streaming replication primary server and the other is used for the standby server.
The load is provided by pgbench -N -c 10 (10 concurent users) -C (each time the transaction starts, pgbench connects to pgpool), which runs on the primary server.

Up to now the test has lasted for about 88 hours. No errors, no OOM killer run because of memory leak. Totally 291 million transactions have been processed.

Here is some TPS data. "excluding" means excluding connect/disconnect time. "including" means including connect/disconnect time. So it's not supprising that "excluding" is far better than "including". This is the reson why you want connection pooling.

select avg(excluding) as excluding_avg,
stddev(excluding) as excluding_stddev,
avg(including) as including_avg,
stddev(including) as including_stddev
from endurance_test;
