This seems wrong to me. If the auto file is read by an include line in postgresql.conf, what is its priority w.r.t. files placed in an hypothetical conf.d directory? Hopefully snippets put in conf.d/ by puppet/chef will override the settings in postgresql.conf (i.e. conf.d/ should be processed after postgresql.conf, not before); and hopefully ALTER SYSTEM will in turn override conf.d. I see no way to have ALTER SYSTEM handled by an include line, yet still have it override conf.d. If we want to make ALTER SYSTEM disable-able from postgresql.conf, I think it should be an explicit option, something like enable_alter_system = on or something like that. -- 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
