> Seems like the reasonable thing, yes. A GUC is entirely, completely, 100% the wrong answer. It has no way to deal with the fact that some clients may need compression and others not. It should be a client option, full stop. The fact that that will be more work to implement does not make "kluge it at the server" the right answer. 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
