That variables refers to fs cache, so 32 bit pg should not matter. Shared buffers and similar variables will be another matter. Why the heck are you running 32 bit pg on a 64 bit system? You are almost certainly doing it wrong. -- Rob Wultsch wultsch@xxxxxxxxx -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
