Hi, While going through the documentation for GIN fast update technique, I read - "...or if the pending list becomes too large (larger than work_mem), the entries are moved to the main GIN data structure using the same bulk insert techniques used during initial index creation." The "work_mem" links to work_mem setting documentation. Whereas in the src/backend/access/gin/README, as one of the features of GIN, I read - "...* Optimized index creation (Makes use of maintenance_work_mem to accumulate postings in memory.)" So, which one is it - work_mem or maintenance_work_mem? Or are these things unrelated? -- Amit -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
