Well, we *did* actually come up with a reasonable way, but it died under an avalanche of bikeshedding and "we-must-do-everything-the-way-we-always-have-done". I refer, of course, to the "configuration directory" patch, which was a fine solution, and would indeed take care of the recovery.conf issues as well had we implemented it. We can *still* implement it, for 9.2. > pg_ctl start -c work_mem=8MB -c recovery_target_time='...' This wouldn't survive a restart, and isn't compatible with init scripts. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
