Perhaps that's what we want, but I'd supposed not. Discuss.
Ah, I see. There was a recent change to make sure shared_preload_libraries are loaded in single-user mode (6c31ac0), but those are for load at "server start" instead of "connection start." However, AFAICT session_preload_libraries is loaded in single-user mode today, and single-user mode is arguably a connection, so my instinct is that we should continue to process it in single-user mode. I suppose we might be able to add more hacks to load it in single-user mode without a new argument, but at that point, we're probably not too far from your original proposal. Given all this, I think I'm inclined for the new argument. -- Nathan Bossart Amazon Web Services: https://aws.amazon.com
