I don't like that GUC and I would not like this one either. We learned years ago that GUCs that change query semantics are a bad idea, but apparently now we have hackers who need to relearn that lesson the hard way. (Admittedly, this isn't quite *query* semantics, which perhaps lessens the blast radius. But I think we're still going to regret query_id_squash_values.) regards, tom lane
