BUFFERS by default
Nikolay and Michael discuss BUFFERS — what they are, how they can be very useful for query optimisation, and whether they should be on by default (spoiler alert, we think they should).
Here are links to a few things we mentioned:
- EXPLAIN parameters (PostgreSQL documentation)
- EXPLAIN (ANALYZE) needs BUFFERS (blog post by Nikolay)
- Using BUFFERS for query optimization (blog post by Michael)
- H3 indexes on PostGIS data (blog post by Ryan Lambert)
- Turning BUFFERS on by default (latest patch)
