Well it's not a perfect precedent but for example, dd accepts: G (2^30) M (2^20) k (2^10) K (2^10) Kb (10^3) MB (10^6) GB (10^9) b (512) I think we're all agreed we want to ignore the KiB crap and make all our units base 2. And I don't think usin "b" for block makes sense for us. But the point is that yes, people expect to type "100M" or "1G" and have that work. Plenty of us do it all the time with dd or other tools already. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
