"Does Postgres have an equivalent MySql Myisam high write performance?"
A Pivot was wondering what settings in Postgres can be enabled for high performance INSERTs (willing to sacrafice SELECT performance on said table).
"Why is Paperclip giving a Stream close error when in development?"
When using Paperclip in development, any file upload results in a Stream IOError. Trying to replicate the problem with Paperclip on its own causes no problems, so it appears to be a conflicting library.
Interesting Things
- An update to yesterday's Rubymine font size issue. The file drawer can not be specifically updated, but the overall system font can be under Preferences > Appearance > Fontsize. Make sure to restart Rubymine.
- Google Voice has been added as a service on to GMail. Make phone calls for free to anywhere in the US from your browser.
- An update to yesterday's Safari 'Back' button issue. Safari caches the previous ajax call (dubbed ajax zombie) when going back to a previous page. The fix had to do with changing Rails default "Cache-control" header to be "no-store".

I don't have a solution for Postgres, but this article is about scaling writes in MySql (MyISAM is not the answer btw).

Not exactly sure what MySQL MyISAM high write performance referred to ... but some tips about PostgreSQL:
A. Use COPY command instead of INSERT command B. Drop any indexes or constraints (then re-create them after data load) C. Up checkpoint_segments config value
Hmm.. in my previous comment, my precious carriage returns were ignored...
Hoping this time it's bit more readable by adding blank lines in between:
A. Use COPY command instead of INSERT command
B. Drop any indexes or constraints (then re-create them after data load)
C. Up checkpoint_segments config value
