Some feedback 1. Want some very clear and supported way to know whether Postgres is fully up. Currently, if you write _PG_init you sometimes need to know if it is being executed by LOAD or as a reload. So actual initialisation sometimes needs to happen outside of _PG_init.
2. shmem_startup_hook doesn't allow multiple modules to create shmem. All callers of the hook think they are the only caller, causing chaos if multiple people need this. Currently, whoever sets up the hook gets to create shmem. (There's no docs for this yet). Would prefer something like RequestAddinShmemSpace() which can be called by multiple callers. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
