Quite. There seems to me to be a whole lot of solving of hypothetical problems going on in this thread. I think we should just do the simplest thing and see how it works. When and if there is some evidence of people actually getting confused, we could consider trying to auto-comment-out duplicate settings. But I've never heard of any other tool doing that, and fail to see why we should think Postgres needs to. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
