As such, they have been excluded from the + sample postgresql.conf file. They determine various aspects + of PostgreSQL behavior that may be of interest + to certain applications, particularly administrative front-ends. + + + + + + block_size (integer) + + + Shows the size of a disk block. It is determined by the value + of BLCKSZ when building the server. The default + value is 8192 bytes. Each data file (heap or index) is divided + into disk blocks which may be thought of as the unit of I/O. + A PostgreSQL buffer contains exactly + one disk block. A PostgreSQL disk page + is an abstraction layered on top of a disk block. Specifically, + while a disk block can be unformatted, a disk page is always a + formatted page. The shared_buffers setting is + influenced by block_size. See + for information. + + + + + + integer_datetimes (boolean) + + + Shows on if PostgreSQL + was built with support for 64-bit integer dates and times. It is + set by configuring with --enable-integer-datetimes. + The default value is off. + + + + + + max_function_args (integer) + + + Shows the maximum number of function arguments. It is determined by + the value of FUNC_MAX_ARGS when building the server. The + default value is 32. + + + + + + max_identifier_length (integer) + + + Shows the maximum identifier length. It is determined as one less than + the value of NAMEDATALEN when building the server. The + default value of NAMEDATALEN is 64; therefore the default + max_identifier_length is 63. + + + + + + max_index_keys (integer) + + + Shows the maximum number of index keys. It is determined by + the value of INDEX_MAX_KEYS when building the server. The + default value is 32. + + + + + + + Developer Options
