A variant of this would be to allow extensions (in the CREATE EXTENSION sense) to declare custom GUCs in their control file. Then we'd only need to load those files, which seems better than loading a shared library. We do expect people to wrap their loadable modules in extensions anyway nowadays, do we? best regards, Florian Pflug -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
