Is there a way to speed up PostgreSQL’s createdb command?
Normally I wouldn’t care, but doing unit testing in Django creates a database every time, and it takes about 5 seconds.
I’m using openSUSE 11.2 64-bit, PostgreSQL 8.4.2
It won’t help you now, but there has been some work done around this in PostgreSQL 9.0.`
What you can try as a workaround is to run with fsync=off. Of course, don’t even think about doing this if you have actual data in your database, but if it runs on a test system only, that will make your CREATE DATABASE run a lot faster.
