Thread: Correction for vacuum_multixact_failsafe_age
Hello, When trying to make a link to the new vacuum_multixact_failsafe_age parameter, I found the wrong ID for this guc (missed word vacuum). Please consider this patch for a fix. -- Pavel Luzanov Postgres Professional: https://postgrespro.com The Russian Postgres Company

It is good to be consistent, but the name of the link is not essential, is it? Changing it might break existing outside links. Yours, Laurenz Albe

Not essential, it's true. I haven't seen any rules in the documentation on forming links for guc. But how many external links could have been made since September 30? And how many times in the future will people encounter inconsistency in constructing a link to this parameter? It seems to me that it's better to fix it. But right now I need a link to this parameter for an article, and I want to see if there's a chance to change the reference to the familiar one or use the current one.

Hi,
Agreed. Pushed Pavel's patch just now.
Sorry, I didn't check it right away. But it makes sense to backport to v14, where vacuum_multixact_failsafe_age was introduced.
