That all sounds nice, but unless you intend to fix all the constraints that force some values to be set-only-at-postmaster-start, it's never going to be possible to promise that a reload has the same effect as restarting the server. We could do this for values that are not PGC_POSTMASTER, but the argument given above for doing it is bogus. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
