The bottom line is that the fact that vacuum_defer_cleanup_age is missing from postgresql.conf is causing confusion because none of the other settings are skipped to discourage their use. If you want to apply that policy, we would have to revisit all the postgresql.conf settings, and I don't think there is much interest in doing that. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com PG East: http://www.enterprisedb.com/community/nav-pg-east-2010.do -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
