Well, fincore is Linux-only, and for that matter only more recent versions of linux. It would be great if we could just detect the RAM, but then we *still* have to ask the user if this is a dedicated box or not. > Then we could have a pretty decent snapshot of the information, and > maybe a background worker of some sort would be able to refresh the > information while the server is running. I don't see a background worker as necessary or even desirable; people don't frequently add RAM to their systems. A manually callable command would be completely adequate. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
