I have to say as a user the parameters that are measured in postgres blocks are really annoying and confusing. Really really annoying and confusing. If someone's playing with this I would suggest they should work something like dd parameters and take a unit. So you could specify effective_cache=500k or effective_cache=1M or effective_cache=1G or whatever unit you wanted. And this should be true for _all_ parameters that measure space. Consistency makes it much much easier for people to learn a new system. -- greg ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
