Hey, everyone, a quick shared memory. So,
max_connections are ~400b per connection
max_prepared_transactions are ~600b per prepared transaction
for lock management the cost is in table slots in units of ~220b per
table slot with total table slots = (max_locks_per_transaction +
(max_connections + max_prepared_transactions))
So, of these settings, which are accounted for as part of
shared_buffers and which result in a system shared memory request on
top of the shared_buffers setting at server start? I ask because I
thought that they were all "on top of" shared_buffers" but the
comment in the config for max_connections mentions raising
shared_buffers to accommodate more.
