That's not much of a fix because (a) the behavior is still pretty undesirable, and (b) it supposes that this sort of failure can only occur for custom variables. The previous discussion arose from a different case entirely --- IIRC, it was from trying to specify client_encoding in postgresql.conf, which the postmaster was happy with but some backends were not because they had a database_encoding for which there was no conversion. There are probably a bunch of other possibilities out there that we haven't hit yet, and if not today, there certainly will be more in the future. So I'm not very excited by a proposed fix that makes assumptions about the exact reason why a process rejects a particular GUC value. 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
