1. 配置文件所在路径：
[postgres@kevin data]$ pwd /opt/postgresql/data [postgres@kevin data]$ ll 总用量 1332 drwx------ 8 postgres dba 4096 7月 13 10:50 base drwx------ 2 postgres dba 4096 7月 19 03:42 global -rw------- 1 postgres dba 1181357 7月 17 16:17 gmon.out drwx------ 159 postgres dba 4096 7月 19 03:44 gprof drwx------ 2 postgres dba 4096 7月 9 09:42 pg_clog -rw------- 1 postgres dba 3755 7月 9 14:54 pg_hba.conf -rw------- 1 postgres dba 1631 7月 9 09:42 pg_ident.conf drwx------ 4 postgres dba 4096 7月 9 09:42 pg_multixact drwx------ 2 postgres dba 4096 7月 19 05:57 pg_stat_tmp drwx------ 2 postgres dba 4096 7月 9 09:42 pg_subtrans drwx------ 2 postgres dba 4096 7月 13 10:54 pg_tblspc drwx------ 2 postgres dba 4096 7月 9 09:42 pg_twophase -rw------- 1 postgres dba 4 7月 9 09:42 PG_VERSION drwx------ 3 postgres dba 4096 7月 9 09:42 pg_xlog -rw------- 1 postgres dba 16837 7月 9 14:52 postgresql.conf -rw------- 1 postgres dba 16815 7月 9 14:51 postgresql.conf_duanyx_bak -rw------- 1 postgres dba 29 7月 19 03:42 postmaster.opts -rw------- 1 postgres dba 46 7月 19 03:42 postmaster.pid [postgres@kevin data]$
2. sql方式修改，可以在运行时设置，当然只有于部分选项，使用方法如下：
kevin_test=# SET work_mem = '16MB'; SET kevin_test=# kevin_test=# SELECT * FROM pg_settings WHERE source = 'session'; -[ RECORD 1 ]------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- name | work_mem setting | 16384 unit | kB category | Resource Usage / Memory short_desc | Sets the maximum memory to be used for query workspaces. extra_desc | This much memory can be used by each internal sort operation and ha sh table before switching to temporary disk files. context | user vartype | integer source | session min_val | 64 max_val | 2097151 enumvals | boot_val | 1024 reset_val | 1024 sourcefile | sourceline | kevin_test=#
恢复默认设置的方法：
kevin_test=# RESET work_mem; RESET kevin_test=# SELECT * FROM pg_settings WHERE name = 'work_mem'; -[ RECORD 1 ]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- name | work_mem setting | 1024 unit | kB category | Resource Usage / Memory short_desc | Sets the maximum memory to be used for query workspaces. extra_desc | This much memory can be used by each internal sort operation and hash table before switching to temporary disk files. context | user vartype | integer source | default min_val | 64 max_val | 2097151 enumvals | boot_val | 1024 reset_val | 1024 sourcefile | sourceline | kevin_test=#
3.查看配置项的值，当然你可以看接查看postgre.conf文件的内容，不过最好使用sql方法查看和修改，更为快速，当然你要先知道要查看的选项的名称。
kevin_test=# SHOW work_mem; work_mem ---------- 1MB (1 row) kevin_test=#
补充一下，如果确实不知道选项的名了，可以先查一下，这些均存储在pg_settings表中，呵呵，Postgresql的一个特点就在这，所有数据均由数据库自己维护。
kevin_test=# SELECT name,short_desc FROM pg_settings;
name | short_desc

4.记住选项值的改动并不一定对整个数据库生效，有时仅对当前session在效，在执行SET语句时，可通过LOCAL选项明确指定。
kevin_test=# SET LOCAL work_mem='16MB'; SET kevin_test=#
