I wonder if there will be assumptions in the startup code concerning time. What if the startup takes 18 months, would there be some sort of problem with this approach you think? On Aug 11, 2004, at 6:14 PM, Gaetano Mendola wrote: Tom Lane wrote: Somebody should hack this together and try it

[HACKERS] WARNING: buffer refcount leak

2004-07-26 Thread Brian Hirt
I'm working on a new machine, and i think it's got possible bad hardware, since that seems more likely than a bug in postgresql. I'm wondering if someone has any idea what kind of hardware failure might cause this message: WARNING: buffer refcount leak: [424] (freeNext=425, freePrev=423,

[HACKERS] fairly serious bug with pg_autovacuum in pg7.4

[HACKERS] Question about performance of planner

2000-11-22 Thread Brian Hirt
Hi, I have a question about the performance of the planner in 7.1. I've been testing the 11/21 snapshot of the database just to get an idea of how it will work for me when I upgrade from 7.02 I've noticed that some queries are taking much longer and I've narrowed it down (i think) to the
