The only major problem with that is that the parameters won't survive a dump/restore. I don't know enough about what's it's needed for to know if that's a problem... So even if an index can store the parameter itself, there would need to be a way for pg_dump to extract it. -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@svana.org> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > Patent. n.
