Nowadays there are a number of methods for composing multiple postgresql.conf files for modularity. But if you have a bunch of things you want to load via shared_preload_libraries, you have to put them all in one setting. How about some kind of syntax for appending something to a list, like
shared_preload_libraries += 'pg_stat_statements' Thoughts? -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
