Now includes the following new fields: integer/float date/time storage maximum length of names (+1; they must also include a null termination) maximum number of function arguments maximum length of locale name - Thomas myst$ ./pg_controldata pg_control version number: 72 Catalog version number: 200207021 Database state: IN_PRODUCTION pg_control last modified: Fri Jul 5 08:33:18 2002 Current log file id: 0 Next log file segment: 2 Latest checkpoint location: 0/1663838 Prior checkpoint location: 0/16637F8 Latest checkpoint's REDO location: 0/1663838 Latest checkpoint's UNDO location: 0/0 Latest checkpoint's StartUpID: 12 Latest checkpoint's NextXID: 4925 Latest checkpoint's NextOID: 139958 Time of latest checkpoint: Fri Jul 5 08:33:01 2002 Database block size: 8192 Blocks per segment of large relation: 131072 Maximum length of names: 32 Maximum number of function arguments: 16 Date/time type storage: 64-bit integers Maximum length of locale name: 128 LC_COLLATE: C LC_CTYPE: C ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
