No it doesn't. Postmaster reads the file once, and backends inherit the values at fork(). In EXEC_BACKEND case, postmaster writes all the non-default values to a separate file, which the child process reads at startup. Reading the file separately in each process would cause trouble with PGC_POSTMASTER params. All backends must agree on their values. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
