Folks,
Attached is another order outline for the Postgresql.conf parameters, updated
for 7.4. Please examine it, and then give your opinions on the following:
1) Should "enable_implicit_from" go in the "Version/Platform Compatibility"
section where I have it now, or in "CLIENT CONNECTIONS-Statement Behavior",
or somewhere else?
2) Where should "preload_libraries" go? I'm very reluctant to start a
"Misc." section.
3) I have re-ordered each subsection somewhat. The fixed ordering is based
on:
a) My guess at the frequency with which that option will be changed, with
more common options toward the top of the subsection;
b) Grouping for tightly related options and for options that cascade;
c) where (a) and (b) are unclear, alpha order.
Does this order make sense looking at the file?
3) Should we use indenting in PostgreSQL.conf.sample? I tend to think it
would make the file easier to read, but I'm not sure what effect it would
have, if any, on parsing the file and whether other people would find it easy
to read.
