This complaint could be fixed we had a --check-config that runs the check hook for every variable, I think. I think that closes all the syntax checks you want; then your tool only needs to worry about semantic checks, and can obtain the values by repeated application of -C <param> (or, more conveniently, have a new -C mode that takes no args and prints the names and values for all parameters). -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
