I think this is not historically correct. The original motivation was that you had to remember what the units on shared_buffers = 37 were, and that it was different units than work_mem = 37 That's independent of the question whether shared_buffers = 250kB might be rejected or not. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
