Maybe we don't actually need stats_start_collector, but instead we start it always and just have one knob to turn collection on and off. I'm not sure whether the extra process would bother people if they're not collecting, but we have so many extra processes now, why would anyone care. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
