Hmm ... actually, I don't think the max_connections parameter is used during standalone operation. It looks like the code uses a hardwired value of "16". We could reduce that (there's probably no good reason why it's not "1"), but I suspect your SEMMAX parameter is so small it will fail anyway :-( Would you try changing "16" to "1" in InitCommunication() in src/backend/utils/init/postinit.c, and see if that helps on your setup? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
