Yes, we could do that but it makes things harder for newbies and really isn't the right numbers for production use anyway. I think anyone using default values should see a message asking them to tune it. Can we throw a message during initdb? Of course, we don't have a running backend at that point so you would always throw a message. >From postmaster startup, by default, could we try larger amounts of buffer memory until it fails then back off and allocate that? Seems like a nice default to me. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
