The postgres.1 man page from postgresql-7.0.3/doc/man.tar.gz says:
-S SortSize
Specifies the amount of memory to be used by inter-
nal sorts and hashes before resorting to temporary
disk files. The value is specified in kilobytes,
and defaults to 512 kilobytes. Note that for a com-
plex query, several sorts and/or hashes might be
running in parallel, and each one will be allowed
to use as much as SortSize kilobytes before it
starts to put data into temporary files.
Who is right?
