Hm. pg_regress.c goes to some trouble to allow you to set session-level options by setting PGOPTIONS in its environment, but that won't work for options that have to be given to the postmaster. Maybe we should invent a pg_regress switch that allows additional switches to be given to the temp postmaster. Of course, this is never gonna work for "make installcheck". 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
