Thread: Compile directive -8k limit

Hi

I was reading through a lot of documentation including Admin guide and
INSTALL, but could not find this answer:

What directives do I have to configure when compiling Postgresql 7.1  (on
Solaris and Debian/Gnu Linux) to remove the 8k record size limit?

I have read that this limit can be removed in this release, but have not
found HOW to.

If there *is* documentation, please just point me as where to find it.

Thank you!

You don't need to do anything.  The block size isn't a constraint anymore.

Since version 7.1 there is no limit in the row size. OK, the row size
has a limit of 2 GB I think.
