Doesn't this still mean that a SIGHUP may give you a different configuration to a full restart, even if you don't touch any of the values that can't be changed via SIGHUP? Perhaps we could stick with the current commented-out-defaults scheme if SIGHUP reset all settings to their compiled-in defaults before rereading the config file, i.e. the same logic as normal startup would do (except for those cases where we can't change a setting at runtime). -O ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
