postgresql.auto.conf is similar enough to postgresql.conf that it will prevent tab completion from working as it does now. As a result it will cause people to bring that file up for editing when we wish to avoid that. So for me the name is not arbitrary because of that point and we should avoid the current choice. Can we go for auto.postgresql.conf instead .... almost identical, just significantly visually different and not interfering with tab completion? -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
