Would it work to loop as above, and then try a second loop in which we use the selected max_connections and see if we can make shared_buffers bigger? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
