Are you advocating for that option, or just calling out that it's possible? I'd say that's closely related to option #3, except at initdb time rather than run-time - and it might be preferable to #3 for some of the same reasons discussed on the thread about tuning work_mem, namely, that having it change from one postmaster lifetime to the next might lead to user astonishment. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
