Hmm, not sure. ISTM log_checkpoint is oriented to people who know what they are doing, whereas checkpoint_warning is more targeted to trying to help people who don't. Perhaps you could make an argument that checkpoint_warning is useless because the people whom it's meant to help won't notice the warning anyway --- but I doubt that it's been "superseded" by log_checkpoint, because the latter would only be enabled by people who already have a clue that checkpoint performance is something to worry about. Or in short, this may be a fine change to make, but I don't like your argument for it. 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
