There are several mentions of ulimit in the docs, but all of them point towards removing unreasonably-tight default limits, not towards intentionally adding a limit. I think something in or near 18.4.2 "Resource Limits" might be appropriate. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
