I agree. Maybe something along the lines of "temp_file_limit"?
Also, once you free yourself from the analogy to work_mem, you could
adopt some more natural unit than KB. I'd think MB would be a practical
unit size, and would avoid (at least for the near term) the need to make
the parameter a float.
I agree, and I like your name suggestion (and also agree with Robert
that 'work_mem' was not such a great name).
I'd be quite happy to use MB (checks guc.h) but looks like we don't have
a GUC_UNIT_MB, not sure if adding it would be an issue (suggests on a
suitable mask if people think it is a great idea).
Cheers
