That means we can go ahead with providing a GUC variable to make the array size user-selectable. I was thinking of calling it either "local_buffers" (in contrast to "shared_buffers") or "temp_buffers" (to emphasize the fact that they're used for temporary tables). Anyone have a preference, or a better alternative?
"temp_buffers" (or even "temporary_buffers") makes it nice and clear what they are intended for.
cheers
