Who should initiate that dedicated listener deamon/user after a server restart? Should the server attach all the databases itself to check whether one needs a startup? What about databases unknown to the server (not present in databases.conf)? > Well, picture schema that can contain schema ie > database.schema_level1.schema_level2.schema_leveln.database_object. I seriously doubt that hierarhical schemas is a good thing (tm). What does the SQL specification says in this regard? Schema is a standard feature, it makes a lot of sense to follow the standard here. > In this case, you could attach the root of a remote database as a > branch/schema to the current database. This is completely different feature request, IMO. And honestly, I don't like auto-mounting of remote objects. Imagine a remote database inaccessible. Should we forbid connections to our local database? Or invalidate only the remote schema? Or invalidate also all local PSQL objects referencing the unavailable schema?
