Re: [DOCS] Documentation of server configuration

As a header to the Config section, a hypertext index in alphabetical order is what I suggested before. It takes less space and enables one to read it by section or to jump to where the particular GUC is documented. I think the alpha index would be easier and more helpful to people doing fast lo

Re: [DOCS] Documentation of server configuration

Is it possible to have an alphabetical hyperlink index to the sections? I really like that it is in the same order as those in the file and the like parameters are grouped. But the table is too big and needs an index for faster access... no wait that was the database...no wait... elein On Sat

[DOCS] Documentation of server configuration

I've just spent a day working through the current set of server configuration parameters, and I think that the documentation at has reached its peak of unusability. I haven't been able to find a single parameter all day except
