> Irrelevant - changing requires re-initdb'ing. That's unrealistic. If you can't turn checksums *off* without re-initdb, that raises the stakes for this enormously. But why is that so hard? Seems like if you just stop checking them, you're done. I see that we have the state recorded in pg_control, but surely we could teach some utility or other to update that file while the postmaster is stopped. I think a reasonable prerequisite before we even consider this change is a patch to make it possible to turn off checksumming. 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
