That's an interesting idea. Were you thinking, perhaps, that you could put, say, a postgresql.conf file in multiple directories and have the settings in the latest one override the settings in earlier ones? That would mean you could set up a single postgresql.conf that has settings common to all of your instances (settings related to the system such as shared buffers, and default settings that would apply to any instance if not overridden), and a postgresql.conf file for each instance that defines the instance-specific configuration information. I'm not sure that's quite what you had in mind, though. :-) -- Kevin Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
