How to disable caching with postgresql

Hi,



I would like to do same specific performance tests. I would like to disable the caching mechanism.

Could someone please let me know how to do that?

Which version of PostgreSQL?

What O/S?

Remember, caching is typically handled by the OS and by the hard disk controllers.

Are you talking about disabling mvcc? Or, do you mean the WAL logs? (ref reliability)
