It would be quicker to add in support for a config format we don't use yet than to duplicate support for a new config in the same format as an existing one? Plus it's a compromise between user-screw-up-ability and machine-readability. My fear would be standby.conf would be edited by users who don't really know XML and then we'd have 3 different styles of config to tell the user to edit. -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935 -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
