temp_file_limit parameter ignored?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello, all.

 

I’m an experienced Oracle DBA who’s converting to PostgreSQL, so please be kind.

 

I’m running the 64-bit PostgreSQL 9.5 on Ubuntu 16.04. I’m trying to index some large tables, so I set temp_file_limit to -1 in postgresql.conf and restarted the server. My index creation calls consistently failed with “temporary file size exceeds temp_file_limit (4194304kB)”. Sure enough, when I connect as ‘postgres’ to the database and run “show temp_file_limit”, 4GB is the answer.

 

Is there something obvious I’m missing?
