Hackers, A slew of settings in postgresql.conf, including work_mem, search_path, DateStyle, and about 80 others are effectively just defaults for new connections, since they can be changed by any user.
However, for *two* settings, and two settings only, we distinguish that by naming an identical setting "default_*" in postgresql.conf. This is confusing and inconsistent with the rest of the GUCS. Namely: default_transaction_isolation default_transaction_read_only transaction_isolation transaction_read_only For 8.5, I would like to consolidate these into only 2 settings and drop the default_* settings. --Josh Berkus -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
