True, but if he's assuming that timezone is and always will be the only thing that needs to vary across servers, he's in for pain someday anyway. Probably sooner not later. Another possibility for per-server overrides is to specify stuff on the postmaster command line, assuming you're using a custom start script that you can tweak to add parameter settings there. 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
