But
(a) did the sort_mem setting "take"?
(b) can you put more than one variable setting in there and have
them all take?
I tried
postmaster ... --enable_hashjoin=false --enable-mergejoin=false
and then verified
regression=# show enable_hashjoin;
NOTICE: enable_hashjoin is off
SHOW VARIABLE
regression=# show enable_mergejoin;
NOTICE: enable_mergejoin is off
SHOW VARIABLE
so it works okay on HPUX.
