Hi Richard:

Thanks for the resply.  We're looking to use pgSql in a embedded systems
environment especially for a telecom switch.  Memory may not be that big
of a issue as we plan to have a reasonable size flash and decent RAM too
(64 to 128 Mb - which is a lot for embedded systems).  The idea here is
to use the database as a way to store information for all the processes
that may be running.  The memory footprint I was looking for relates to
the disk storage required to store the loadable module/or binary program
on the flash disk, and also some insight into RAM required to run the
databse.  The configuration would be achieve highest speed with most
amount of reliability.  Any rough estimate into worst case memory usage
will be very beneficial?

Thanks in advance.
