All, To limit the argument here, let's please not argue about things which people already agree on. So:
We seem to have consensus around: A) the inadvisability of storing GUCs in a system catalog. B) the utility of a conf.d in /etc/ which may have nothing to do with ALTER SYSTEM SET C) that any file for ALTER SYSTEM SET go in $PGDATA somewhere. What we are still arguing about: D) one-big-file vs. file-per-setting E) whether "unsafe" settings or "restart" settings should be allowed in ALTER SYSTEM SET. F) whether admins need the ability to disable ALTER SYSTEM SET. Since each of D, E and F issues are completely orthagonal to each other, I suggest that maybe we argue them each out on their own threads? I'll start. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
