We could make each table in guc.c follow the logical ordering Josh suggests for its subset of the variables. But on the other hand, it'd be just as defensible to put each table in alphabetical order. I'd vote for doing one or the other rather than leaving the kinda-random order that's there now. Josh's proposal looks pretty good to me in general, though some of the details seem a little odd. "max_files_per_process" doesn't belong under lock management (perhaps better to stick it under Memory Usage, possibly renaming that category to Resource Consumption) and the Query Tuning/Other section seems kinda random. But "miscellaneous" variables are always a bear to classify. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
