Tom Lane 6382448cf9 For bulk write operations (eg COPY IN), use a ring buffer of 16MB instead
of the 256KB limit originally enforced by a patch committed 2008-11-06.
Per recent test results, the smaller size resulted in an undesirable decrease
in bulk data loading speed, due to COPY processing frequently getting blocked
for WAL flushing.  This area might need more tweaking later, but this setting
seems to be good enough for 8.4.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
