Fwiw as someone who *was* confused previously, it now makes perfect sense to me. "We have postgres.conf which always applies and then recovery.conf which can have all the same options but they only apply during recover". That's much clearer than "we have two configuration files with two disjoint sets of options and good luck remembering which options belong in which file". And it still serves a useful purpose if you have options like recovery_target that you only want to apply during recovery and then plan to remove. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
