There's certainly going to be opposition to making initdb an interactive tool. The other problem is that no one has ever managed to show that it is possible to derive reasonable settings from a finite set of questions presented to the user, plus perhaps from a reasonably portable system analysis. If you can do that, that would be a cool tool in its own right. And then you could call that from initdb or not depending on taste. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
