Hi I am going through and optimizing my HEM and pgsql, I am left with one burning question:

What would be the problem with only starting pgsql (service) only when I need it?

Currently I am only getting to play poker about once a month, I need my computer for the other stuff I do the other 95% of the time preforming at 100% efficiency. So would it hurt anything if I put the pgsql service to start manually and when I am ready to fire up HEM or play some poker I just go start it?

The fewer things I have for start-up the better because; I have to be able to pull my laptop out on the spot get the information/quote ect as fast a possible and then get a response for my boss or customer.

I almost forgot my second question. I read on the faq or the forum maybe that I could put my HEM DB to work on an external drive, I would really like to know more about this.

I was thinking is to set up my home computer as my designated HEM computer and playing poker on my laptop and just copying the HH to a flash drive and putting them onto my Home Computer for review.

I don't believe there is any issue with setting the PostgreSQL service as manual.

As far as optimizing your DB for performance, I suggest you read this thread. - http://208.109.95.123/forum/showthread.php?p=62613&posted=1#post62613

For putting your SQL on an external or different drive, or sharing it between 2 computers, check these FAQs:
