I don't know of a way. Presumably, we'd hope to avoid this, and would look for alternatives to anything that would necessitate bumping PGSS_FILE_HEADER, while not going so far as to let pg_stat_statements contort things in the core system. If I was aware of a case where this would have come up had pg_stat_statements fingerprinting been around at the time, perhaps I could give a better answer than that. -- Peter Geoghegan http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training and Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
