Well, value-per-file is ugly (imagine you've set 40 different variables that way) but dodges a lot of complicated issues. And I suppose "ugly" doesn't matter, because the whole idea of the auto-generated files is that users aren't supposed to look at them anyway. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
