I thought this part was odd -- I mean, why is SysLogger_Start() being called if the collector is not enabled? Turns out we do it and return early if not enabled. But not in all cases -- there is one callsite in postmaster.c that avoids the call if the collector is disabled. That needs to be changed if we want this to work reliably. I don't think the "abstract names" stuff is an improvement (just look at the quoting mess in ConfigureNamesString). I think we should do without that; at least as part of this patch. If you think there's code that can get better because of the idea, let's see it. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
