Yes, that is a problem. We could show something in the server logs if pg_tune hasn't been run. Not sure what else we can do, but it would give folks a one-stop thing to run to deal with performance configuration. We could prevent the postmaster from starting unless they run pg_tune or if they have modified postgresql.conf from the default. Of course, that's pretty drastic. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
