We have been uppercasing GUC variable names in most places > already. Currently, the documentation contains about 2 GUC variable names in upper case, the rest is lower case. (The exception are the list headings in the main description in runtime.sgml, which are all upper case. That is a bit inconsistent, but I think it's OK, because here they sort of serve as section titles.) Also note that postgresql.conf, command-line option equivalents, and SET commands all tend to use them in lower case, so that seems like the direction to go. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net
