CONFIGURE POSTGRESQL SERVER POKERTRACKER 4 FULL
If you are having issues verifying registration or problems with PokerTracker 4 connecting to the PostgreSQL database it is imperative that you allow FULL Internet access for the following four processes:Ĭ:\Program Files\PokerTracker 4\PokerTracker4.exeĬ:\Program Files\PokerTracker 4\PokerTrackerHud4.exeĬ:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\x.x\bin\pg_ctl.exe (x.x refers to the version of PostgreSQL installed on your computer)Ĭ:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\x.x\bin\postgres.exe (x.x refers to the version of PostgreSQL installed on your computer)Īs a precaution we advise once you add exceptions to your firewall to allow the four programs listed above FULL Internet access then you should restart your computer for the changes to take place. Typically you can do this by configuring your firewall and locating a section called “Program Control”, “Process Control”, “Application Control” or something similar dependent on your operating system. Tip: Hardware improvements usually result in the best possible database performance improvements, please consult the PokerTracker Recommended Hardware FAQ for additional information.ĭatabase tuning is not availabe in the OS X version of PokerTracker 4 at this time.Most firewalls installed on your personal computer provide you with the ability to grant certain programs varying levels of Internet access called exceptions since they deviate from your “general” firewall rules. This tutorial will tweak the PostgreSQL configurations so that more memory is used by the database server and in turn PokerTracker 4's performance will be improved. By default, PostgreSQL is configured to use a very small amount of memory which is far from optimum. With proper configuration, PokerTracker 4 can minimize the number of times PostgreSQL is required to read from your hard drive by storing pieces of your database into Random Access Memory (RAM), this is much faster than the speed of your hard drive.
Hard drives are very slow compared to the speed of all modern day computer processors, hard drives are therefore the number one cause of speed issues when accessing your data stored on the PostgreSQL Server with PokerTracker 4. All databases are extremely file intensive because data is constantly being written and read from your hard drive. PokerTracker 4 uses the PostgreSQL database server to store your hand, in addition to information and various statistics about the hands you have played.
