Well, it does make sense to have defaults in postgresql.conf - but I don't think it's worth the overhead. I'll commit the stuff I have for now and put it on my TODO to remove them completely from postgresql.conf later. I'll see if I have time to get it done for 8.4. //Magnus -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
