Okey, I'll revise the patch; create also the directory which is referenced by symlink if not present. > Also, wouldn't it be better to isolate this to the first time when we > try to create the file - then we don't have to export the symbol? You mean having assign_pgstat_temp_directory() create the directory instead of pgstat_start()? In this case, the directory is created automatically not only at the beginning but also when a configuration file is reloaded. This seems to be better behavior. One problem of this is that some directories may be created unexpectedly if stats_temp_directory is specified at multiple locations. It's because assign_hook is called for each setting.
