Discussion around this topic has reached hundreds of messages, and whilst I have failed to find mention of my following question, I appreciate it may have already been discussed.
I have noticed that configuration parameters for extensions are only supported if the server was started with one of the parameters already being set in postgresql.conf: # without any mention in postgresql.conf postgres=# ALTER SYSTEM SET auto_explain.log_verbose = true; ERROR: unrecognized configuration parameter "auto_explain.log_verbose" # with auto_explain.log_verbose = false added to postgresql.conf postgres=# ALTER SYSTEM SET auto_explain.log_verbose = true; ALTER SYSTEM Removing the entry from postgresql.conf, restarting Postgres, setting it to the default, then restarting again renders it unsettable again: # removed entry from postgresql.conf and restarted postgres=# ALTER SYSTEM SET auto_explain.log_verbose = default; ALTER SYSTEM # restart postgres postgres=# ALTER SYSTEM SET auto_explain.log_verbose = true; ERROR: unrecognized configuration parameter "auto_explain.log_verbose" Is this by design? -- Thom -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
