Hi Everybody, I want to change a line in postgresql.conf (shared_buffers) and then issue a command: pg_ctl reload
This forces the postmaster process to reread the configuration file with new shared_buffer value. And the postgres process that comes to life from this point on will execute with the newly specified value. Correct? I have jobs that have been running more than a week. Can somebody please tell me what happens to these processes? Ie., (a) will they keep running in the current mode? (b) will the postmaster assign more memory while they are running? Thank you.
