I'm on debian, and I'm editing the file listed in config_file. And, like I said, changing other values in that file works. Another possibility is that the value was set on the postmaster command line (ie, in the startup script) or via ALTER DATABASE or ALTER USER. IIRC any one of those would override the config file, though of course the latter two only for some sessions. You might try looking at the pg_settings row for the variable to see what it says the source is. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
