FWIW, +1 from me. > We could always accept it like we do for archive/hot_standby->replica. > > I like synchronous_standby_config, so I vote for changing it. synchronous_standby_names is wantedly designed so as to accept the old format. This is of couse for backward compatibility and not to add new GUC variable needlessly. And, I suppose that changing the domain of a GUC and changing (only) the name of the varialbe is a bit different things and the latter seems to me to have somewhat larger impact for users. regards, -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
