I guess that some previous admin of your machine made it as a copy of one set of config parameters that he was experimenting with. > 2) What is the optimall value for shared_buffers parameter to be set > for a huge database that contains a table with upto '4GB' data. Opinions vary, but I would say that 1-5 buffers is a reasonable range to be working in. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])

This is not correct. Old client libraries can connect to new servers. In any case, the error message in case of a version mismatch is not "invalid length of startup packet", so this whole discussion is not the solution to the original question. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---(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
Re: [ADMIN] help needed!!!
Sure, basically, modern versions of the client library can talk to older versions of the database backend up to a point (i.e. the 7.4 library in beta can go back to 6.5 or 6.4 or something like that. Support for 6.2 or thereabouts was recently dropped.) However, going the other way, old connect libs and newer postgresql back end versions can result in an issue where the old lib can't connect. the normal solution is to link to / use the newer connection libraries that come with a late model pgsql (7.3, 7.4 etc...)
