Thread: PostgreSQL and shared memory.

PostgreSQL and shared memory.

From

Hi,
I'd like to get a general understanding of what kind of structures 
PostgreSQL puts in shared memory and how they are managed. I'd like some 
hints on where to start looking. Source, docs, prior discussions, 
anything is considered helpful.

TIA,
Thomas Hallgren

Have you looked on the developers page.  My internals through pictures
talk should help too.
