Caching & Memory Management: Overview
Module: Query Optimization & Performance
Understand buffer pool architecture and how it caches data pages in memory
Configure shared_buffers, work_mem, and maintenance_work_mem for optimal performance
Diagnose memory spills to disk and fix with proper memory allocation
Monitor cache hit ratios and identify when more memory is needed
Optimize sort and hash operations to avoid temp file usage
Balance database memory with OS cache for maximum throughput
