Re: performance tuning in large function / transaction

Hi,

I am writing a function (plpgsql) which equals to a
single transaction transaction in postgresql ( as I
known ). So I think that it is not a autocommmit mode.

I have add following lines in postgresql.conf.

postgresql.conf:
====================
shared_buffers = 640
wal_buffers = 80

M.T.
