老闆提到想要把新系統的 postgresql 資料庫都撈到記憶體裡面
但是否決了我提出的ramdisk 作法(因為當機的話，資料就沒了)
在找資料的時候，發現了這個postgresql 的 pg_prewarm extension
好像有點意思？就來測試看看吧！
只是目前還不知道該怎麼解讀測試的數據就是了…
幹！林北真的不是 DBA 啦 =.=
安裝系統、postgresql 資料庫什麼的就不提了，那不是這次的重點
修改 postgresql.conf
編輯postgresql.conf，開啟平行處理以及設定可用記憶體容量
這台測試機的環境是一台三代i7 , 24G RAM , 240G SSD，安裝debian 10(buster)

OK ，可以看到 test_tbl 已經通通被載入 shared_buffers 中
buffered 表示表格被載入shared_buffers的大小

這邊就可以看到都是從buffer 讀出來所以 hit=442478
看樣子表格還是太小，所以沒有完全發揮？那再來把表格加大！
先重開一次 postgresql 清除buffer

確認一下，果然大部分都打到cache 了，但是因為shared_buffers 不夠大，所以還會從磁碟讀取一部分
而且時間也比之前還沒塞進shared_buffers 的時候要快了不少
22908.571 –> 11450.781 ms
從這次的測試看來，我想如果有足夠大的記憶體，能夠把資料表都塞入shared_buffers 中
應該可以帶來不錯的效能增幅！
