Subject: ALTER SYSTEM is equal to editing postgresql.auto.conf, not postgres.conf
Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2017 10:53:38 +0000

The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/config-setting.html
Description:

&gt; The already-mentioned ALTER SYSTEM command provides a SQL-accessible means
of changing global defaults; it is functionally equivalent to editing
postgresql.conf

Should not it be ...to editing postgresql.auto.conf?.. I know user is not
supposed to edit postgresql.auto.conf but this is what ALTER SYSTEM does,
not touching the postgres.conf - isn&#39;t is confusing in manual?..

Thank you
