This has been proposed a number of times, but is still infeasable for the simple reason that a lot of settings are dependant on how much RAM you have on the machine. "Sample configs" would just result in people trying to set their shared_buffers to 150% of system RAM if they have a lightweight system, or in having 500 different sample configurations, which would produce even *more* user confusion. A generator makes more sense. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
