I think, people use and configure PostgreSQL in all kinds of ways, so we shouldn't assume what they might be thinking. Especially if an artificial boundary has the single purpose of being "helpful". If people want their configuration checked for "sanity" (by someone's definition), there might be logging or debugging options in order for that. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
