Yeah, we're already past the point where it's likely that helpVariables()'s output would fit on one screen for anybody, so maybe this is the best way. 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
