GUCs: A Three Hour Tour
Every option, explained
PostgreSQL now has 187 GUCs, most of which are server configuration settings, and begins to rival Oracle in complexity of administrator options. Take a high-speed tour of all of the options with core team member Josh Berkus.
Just sit right back and you'll hear at tale, a tale of some GUCs ...
PostgreSQL now has 187 GUCs, and begins to rival Oracle in complexity of administrator options. Most of these GUCs come from PostgreSQL.conf and session-level settings, and it's a rare PostgreSQL server where you want to accept all defaults.

At the end of the talk, we'll see how many options Josh can recite in one breath.
