I think it's actually pretty different. All of the other enable_* GUCs disable an entire type of plan node, except for cases where that would otherwise result in planning failure. This just disables a portion of the planning logic for a certain kind of node, without actually disabling the whole node type. I'm not sure that's a bad idea, but it definitely seems to be inconsistent with what we've done in the past. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
