Thread: just a quick one ...
i have 2 postgresql boxes, one live and one for dev. the dev box has postgresql 7.2 compiled from source and ps auxf gets me a postmaster process and then the db parameters (-i -B 512 etc). the live box has 7.2 from deb packages and i have edited postgresql.conf to give the same start parameters as the dev box but on ps auxf i don't get any extra info ... is there a way i check to see if postgresql started with the options i want and not the defaults ? performance seems ok but i'm worried that the live box may not have started properly .... live box: postgres 320 0.0 0.3 16784 1780 ? S Jul15 0:13 /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postmaster postgres 322 0.0 0.5 17776 2748 ? S Jul15 0:02 \_ postgres: stats buffer process postgres 323 0.0 0.3 16856 1836 ? S Jul15 0:10 \_ postgres: stats collector process thanks, Steve Brett p..s i totally agree with the previous thread that was extolling the virtues of postgresql and especially the amazing support. keep it up guys !

So any changes there will not show up in 'ps'. You can use 'SHOW ALL;' to get a dump of your current config settings. Personally, I make all my configuration changes in postgresql.conf, and don't specify any additional arguments when starting the postmaster.

Although i read the docs, I have not found any indication on how to set the datestyle from postgresql.conf. The only way I have found is by specifying a -e parameter to postgres. Am I missing anything? Alex

You can also define the environment variable PGDATESTYLE; and once you are connected you can use SET DATESTYLE. In 7.3 DateStyle will be settable from postgresql.conf, but not in 7.2.1. -- Oliver Elphick Oliver.Elphick@lfix.co.uk Isle of Wight, UK http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.
