Well, the fact that it uses shared memory is an uninteresting implementation detail --- at least, it's uninteresting until you run out. When/if that happens, ISTM the error message and HINT are plenty good enough to tell you what to do about it. If we tried to document every possible error message and appropriate corrective action for same the docs would become bloated to the point of unreadability. So to me the question is why this particular case deserves a paragraph of its own. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
