Yes, good thought. It would be useful to have some way to express dependency there, rather than just sequence. search_path_add = 'my_module1, my_module2' search_path_depends = 'postgis' So that we can assemble a search_path with final sequence based upon the dependency tree, rather than risk a weird sequence. We might need to have a special keyword in the main search_path to show where additions go, e.g. search_path = '$user, $install, public, pg_catalog' This is beginning to sound like a very workable mechanism for plugins. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
