I committed this with minor tweaks to avoid having to scan the registered workers list on each registration. Opinions on this error report are still welcome:
> + ereport(LOG, > + > (errcode(ERRCODE_CONFIGURATION_LIMIT_EXCEEDED), > + errmsg("too many background workers"), > + errdetail("Up to %d background workers can > be registered with the current settings.", > + MAX_BACKENDS - > (MaxConnections + autovacuum_max_workers + 1)))); Thanks to everyone for their input --- and happy 2013 hacking to all. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
