I am wondering if the fact that you would be able to do: ALTER SYSTEM SET externally_managed_configuration = false and then be unable to use ALTER SYSTEM to revert the change is significant. I can't think of many such cases. Isn't "configuration" too generic a term for disabling ALTER SYSTEM? -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com Only you can decide what is important to you.
