Another thing that's a bit strange there is that most of the section-header comments in postgresql.conf say: # - Section Name - i.e. they begin and end with a dash. Whereas that one for some reason says: # - Streaming Replication - Server Settings And probably should just say: # - Streaming Replication - I don't have a strong feeling on whether or not we should put that setting in its own section. Right now, we only have one setting for synchronous replication, so I guess maybe it depends on if we think there will be more in the future. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
