I think such a tool would actually make the initial experience worse for many people. Quick, how are you going to use your PostgreSQL server: - OLTP - web - mixed Uh, all of the above? This sort of thing can quickly turn the "first 15 minutes" into the first 2 hours, as users are forced to analyze the different settings, have second thoughts, wonder about how to change them back, etc. The fewer decisions people have to make initially, the better. The initdb phase already has too many required decisions that can cause regret later (e.g., locale, encoding, checksums). -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
