The patch proposed here means that early crashes will invoke WER. If we're going to allow WER we should probably just do so unconditionally. I suggest changing this to a command line flag or environment variable test that suppresses Pg's default disabling of WER. A GUC probably doesn't make sense; it's too niche, and too early. I'd be in favour of leaving WER on when we find out we're in a noninteractive service too, but that'd be a separate patch for pg11+ only. -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
