Somehow, the attraction of that idea escapes me. What we have now was named Grand Unified Configuration for a reason: it centralized the handling of what had been a mess of different things configured in different ways. I'm not eager to go backwards on that. I'm also interested to know exactly what such a table would provide that isn't already available in the form of the pg_settings view. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
