Обсуждение: Open Item: pg_controldata - machine readable?
There is an open item "pg_controldata - machine readable?" in the list: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_9.0_Open_Items The proposal by Joe Conway is adding a new contib module. http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/4B959D7A.6010907@joeconway.com http://github.com/jconway/pg_controldata Should we add the module to 9.0? If we do so, SGML documentation is required. IMHO, I'd like to put the feature into the core instead of a contrib module, but we cannot change the catalog version in this time. So, how about providing control file information through pg_settings view? We will retrieve those variables as GUC options. Regards, --- Takahiro Itagaki NTT Open Source Software Center

No. This is a new feature that wasn't even under consideration, let alone written, at the time of 9.0 feature freeze. It does not get into either core or contrib this time around. regards, tom lane

It was also a quick and dirty hack -- maybe it could be cleaned up for 9.1, but I'm not sure there was consensus that it was really needed. Joe

OK, I moved it from 9.0 open items to new features for 9.1. Regards, --- Takahiro Itagaki NTT Open Source Software Center
