Yeah. I put in the objection because Elein already made it to me. I also think that most people don't adjust *enough* Postgresql.conf settings, which is one thing I'm trying to change. > Just to throw in a wrench, consider that SHOW ALL shows the settings in > alphabetical order. I think that is OK, but I thought I should mention > it. I think it's OK too. Presumably, people running SHOW ALL are looking for a particular setting, not trying to tweak everything. I considered simply alpha-ordering the CONF file. However, too many options have a logical grouping that really need to be adjusted together and are spread wide apart in the alphabet (WAL_files and Checkpoint_segments, for example). For that matter, I dealt with a couple of distros of SAMBA that decided to "simplify" smb.conf by alphabetizing the settings, and ended up reordering them on my own.
