Well, can you assume that if you have a problem with one of your ALTER SYSTEM SET commands, that disabling _all_ of them is going to get you a running system? I question that, e.g. port. With postgresql.conf, you can modify the bad entry, but how would that happen with ALTER SYSTEM SET? -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
