I'd like to make a general suggestion on configuration parameter
documentation. I'd like to see a high level entry as to whether the
parameter can be changed on the fly or not. I think the Oracle docs refer
to this as static/dynamic.
Currently, dynamic parameters, those that can be changed in a running
cluster, can be identified by the fact that no statement is made. This
can be confusing.
An example of the "static" entry follows:
listen_addresses (string)
parmater description .........
This parameter can only be set at server start.
This might be communicated with something like:
listen_addresses (string) /static
The current entry for maintenance_work_mem looks like this:
maintenance_work_mem (integer)
Specifies the maximum amount of memory...
which might look something like this:
maintenance_work_mem (integer) /dynamic
Specifies the maximum amount of memory
I'd be willing to work on this adaptation if you need help.
I'd need some introduction to your text management.
Thanks,
Ray
