Subject: "20.16. Customized Options" – cannot be set by `ALTER SYSTEM`
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2023 13:34:57 +0000
Message-ID: <169746329791.169914.16613647309012285391@wrigleys.postgresql.org> (raw)
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/runtime-config-custom.html
Description:
As far as I can tell, the following statement:
> PostgreSQL will accept a setting for any two-part parameter name
does not hold when creating a *new* setting with `ALTER SYSTEM`, e.g.
ALTER SYSTEM SET foo.bar TO 'baz';
will elicit an error.
However, if `foo.bar` is defined in `postgresql.conf` or
`postgresql.auto.conf` – put there by hand – then it can be altered, i.e.
the `ALTER SYSTEM` command above will succeed.
I don't know if this is something that should be mentioned in the
documentation or if it's an inconsistency in the implementation.
