Using the 'include' keyword in postgresql.conf let's us do groovy things
like paste together pieces of general purpose configs into the working file.
-- But since all we can do is set/reset the parameters the possibility of concatenating fragments that use some of the
listparameters won't work.
To wit; suppose we had a fragment for enabling auto_explain and another
for enabling pg_stat_statements.
Both of these require us to put something in shared_preload_libraries
and both make use of custom_variable_classes.
Just FWIW... Something like...
shared_preload_libraries += auto_explain
Would do the trick.
I've never heard this mentioned before so presume not many have
contemplated this.
Comments?
