Thread: pgsql.v814 - BLCKSZ

Hi,
When the postgresql.pdf for version 8.1 says that
Each buffer is 8192 bytes, unless a different value of BLCKSZ was chosen
when building the server.

When it says buildeing the server, is it talking about the postgres server
or the the OS server that the postgres instance is going on?

Assuming it's talking about a postgresql configuration not the OS or
filesystem it's running on, where do you find that BLCKSZ variable.  I
couldn't find a config.h file in v814 and it wasn't in the
../include/pg-config.h file either.

Thanks,
~DjK

I see it in include/pg_config_manual.h.
