I tried to put my_ip instead of "localhost" in
bufmng.c and it seems to work (no more complaining).
However i check the pg_statio_all_tables and dont see
any recorded statistic at all. (all the columns are
'0')
some time postmaster shut down with this err msg:
LOG: statistics collector process (<process_id>)
exited with exit code 1
i starts postmaster with this command:
postmaster -i -p $PORT -D $PGDATA -k $PGDATA -N 32 -B
64 -o -s

i thought that rows in the table will be stored
contiguously? in that case, if the user is requesting
1 row, we make sure that the continue rows are ready
in the buffer pool so that when they next requested,
they wont be asked to read from disk. For multimedia
data, this is important 'cos data needs to be
presented continuously without any waiting.

thanks again for your help
