The following “parameters” are read-only, and are determined
when LightDB is compiled or when it is
installed. As such, they have been excluded from the sample
postgresql.conf
file. These options report
various aspects of LightDB behavior
that might be of interest to certain applications, particularly
administrative front-ends.
block_size
(integer
)
Reports the size of a disk block. It is determined by the value
of BLCKSZ
when building the server. The default
value is 8192 bytes. The meaning of some configuration
variables (such as shared_buffers) is
influenced by block_size
. See Section 17.4 for information.
data_checksums
(boolean
)
Reports whether data checksums are enabled for this cluster. See data checksums for more information.
data_directory_mode
(integer
)
On Unix systems this parameter reports the permissions of the data
directory defined by (data_directory) at startup.
(On Microsoft Windows this parameter will always display
0700
). See
group access for more information.
debug_assertions
(boolean
)
Reports whether LightDB has been built
with assertions enabled. That is the case if the
macro USE_ASSERT_CHECKING
is defined
when LightDB is built (accomplished
e.g., by the configure
option
--enable-cassert
). By
default LightDB is built without
assertions.
integer_datetimes
(boolean
)
Reports whether LightDB was built with support for
64-bit-integer dates and times. As of LightDB 10,
this is always on
.
lc_collate
(string
)
Reports the locale in which sorting of textual data is done. See Section 21.1 for more information. This value is determined when a database is created.
lc_ctype
(string
)
Reports the locale that determines character classifications.
See Section 21.1 for more information.
This value is determined when a database is created.
Ordinarily this will be the same as lc_collate
,
but for special applications it might be set differently.
max_function_args
(integer
)
Reports the maximum number of function arguments. It is determined by
the value of FUNC_MAX_ARGS
when building the server. The
default value is 100 arguments.
max_identifier_length
(integer
)
Reports the maximum identifier length. It is determined as one
less than the value of NAMEDATALEN
when building
the server. The default value of NAMEDATALEN
is
64; therefore the default
max_identifier_length
is 63 bytes, which
can be less than 63 characters when using multibyte encodings.
max_index_keys
(integer
)
Reports the maximum number of index keys. It is determined by
the value of INDEX_MAX_KEYS
when building the server. The
default value is 32 keys.
segment_size
(integer
)
Reports the number of blocks (pages) that can be stored within a file
segment. It is determined by the value of RELSEG_SIZE
when building the server. The maximum size of a segment file in bytes
is equal to segment_size
multiplied by
block_size
; by default this is 1GB.
server_encoding
(string
)
Reports the database encoding (character set). It is determined when the database is created. Ordinarily, clients need only be concerned with the value of client_encoding.
server_version
(string
)
Reports the version number of the server. It is determined by the
value of PG_VERSION
when building the server.
server_version_num
(integer
)
Reports the version number of the server as an integer. It is determined
by the value of PG_VERSION_NUM
when building the server.
ssl_library
(string
)
Reports the name of the SSL library that this
LightDB server was built with (even if
SSL is not currently configured or in use on this instance), for
example OpenSSL
, or an empty string if none.
wal_block_size
(integer
)
Reports the size of a WAL disk block. It is determined by the value
of XLOG_BLCKSZ
when building the server. The default value
is 8192 bytes.
wal_segment_size
(integer
)
Reports the size of write ahead log segments. The default value is 16MB. See Section 27.4 for more information.
