> Huh? We have that stuff already. Oh, I thought part of the objective here was to try to centralize that stuff. If we're assuming that slaves will still have local replication configuration files, then I think we should just add any necessary info to those files and drop this entire conversation. We're expending a tremendous amount of energy on something that won't make any real difference to the overall complexity of configuring a replication setup. AFAICS the only way you make a significant advance in usability is if you can centralize all the configuration information in some fashion. 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
