If you have enough connections, then that seems unnecessary. The *opposite* would be true; if you change max connections, you might need to change the size of the shared buffer... At any rate, if you actually want substantive improvements in performance, I would *highly* advise moving to a version of PostgreSQL that is *way* newer, like version 8.1. There are *enormous* numbers of improvements that affect performance between 7.3 and 8.1. -- output = reverse("gro.gultn" "@" "enworbbc") http://cbbrowne.com/info/lsf.html "In the case of CAPP, an EAL4 evaluation tells you everything you need to know.
