I think the latter is a nontrivial cost. Perhaps we could address this by extending the pg_settings view to include the compile-time-default values for each variable, and then instead of "show us what you did to postgresql.conf", the standard help request would be select * from pg_settings where setting != default_setting; regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
