Looks fine after a second look, so applied. As of the issues of this thread, we really have two things to think about: 1) How do we want to control the access of some parameters in a context or another? One idea would be more control through GUCs, say with a set of context-related flags that prevent the read of some variables until they are set. We could encourage the use of GetConfigOption() for that. For MaxBackends, we could add a read-only GUC for this purpose. That's what Andres hinted at upthread, I guess. 2) How do we deal with unwanted access of shared parameters? This one is not really controllable, is it? And we are talking about much more than MaxBackends. This could perhaps be addressed with more documentation in the headers for the concerned variables, as a first step. -- Michael
