Agreed. This patch should do it. It lists them as "XXX recovery parameter", e.g: restore_command recovery parameter, Archive recovery settings similar to the way GUCs are listed as "XXX configuration parameter". PS. I just noticed that the links in the index for GUCs take you to the section in the manual, not directly to the parameter. For example, when you click on the index term for "max_connections", it takes you to section "18.3.1 Connection Settings" (the link points to http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/runtime-config-connection.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-CONNECTION-SETTINGS), which begins with listen_addresses. max_connections is there a few paragraphs down, but I would've expected the link to point directly to description of the parameter. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com
