Is it sensible to try to prevent people from raising the GUC variable higher than the platform will allow? It seems we can know the limit on Windows, but on most other platforms I don't think there's any good way to find it out. (Which is why max_stack_depth is a SUSET variable --- you're assumed to know what you are doing if you change it.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
