Hello,

If the optimizations of MySQL do not work out, my experience with *very* large Bacula databases agrees with what Alan wrote below.  You have to be careful though, PostgreSQL out of the box is *horribly* tuned for Bacula so you *must* change about 7 of the parameters.  I think Eric made a presentation on what is needed at the last Bacula Conference.  See his slides at:

Best regards,
Kern

Are the tables in MyISAM or InnoDB format?
At the moment, MyISAM.  I'd wondered if I could safely convert to
InnoDB, since that's generally going to have better locking
characteristics, etc.
It's easy enough to change, but....

How large are the tables? In particular how many entries do you have in the file table?

MySQL is good, but it doesn't scale to large tables very well (even with Inno) so at some point there's a lot of benefit (reduced ram use) in switching to Postgres.
