    Revert "Auto-tune effective_cache size to be 4x shared buffers" · a16d421c
    Tom Lane authored
    This reverts commit ee1e5662, as well as
    a remarkably large number of followup commits, which were mostly concerned
    with the fact that the implementation didn't work terribly well.  It still
    doesn't: we probably need some rather basic work in the GUC infrastructure
    if we want to fully support GUCs whose default varies depending on the
    value of another GUC.  Meanwhile, it also emerged that there wasn't really
    consensus in favor of the definition the patch tried to implement (ie,
    effective_cache_size should default to 4 times shared_buffers).  So whack
    it all back to where it was.  In a followup commit, I'll do what was
    recently agreed to, which is to simply change the default to a higher
    value.
