NAME
       pgtune - generate an optimized postgresql.conf file

SYNOPSIS
       pgtune [ options ] -i $PGDATA/postgresql.conf -o $PGDATA/postgresql.conf.pgtune

DESCRIPTION
       pgtune takes the wimpy default postgresql.conf and expands the database server to be as powerful as the hardware it's being deployed on.

       pgtune  works  by  taking  an existing postgresql.conf file as an input, making changes to it based on the amount of RAM in your server and
       suggested workload, and output a new file.

OPTIONS
       -i, --input-config
	      Specifies the current postgresql.conf file.

       -o, --output-config
	      Specifies the file name for the new postgresql.conf file.

       -M, --memory
	      Use this parameter to specify total system memory. If not specified, pgtune will attempt to detect memory size.

       -T, --type
	      Specifies database type. Valid options are: DW, OLTP, Web, Mixed, Desktop

       -c, --connections
	      Specifies number of maximum connections expected. If not specified, it depends on database type.

       -D, --debug
	      Enables debugging mode.

       -S, --settings
	      Directory where settings data files are located at.  Defaults to the directory where the script is being run from.  The RPM  package
	      includes a patch to use the correct location these files were installed into.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
	      Show version of program.
