Hi,
So, if I have a contrib module which adds in a custom guc via DefineCustomIntVariable() for example. Now that custom guc is not visible via a show command unless that corresponding .so has been loaded into memory.
E.g.
postgres=# show pg_buffercache.fancy_custom_guc;
ERROR: unrecognized configuration parameter "pg_buffercache.fancy_custom_guc"
Should we do something about this or we are ok with the current behavior? I would prefer to get to see the config parameter value if I so happen to want to see it before the load of that contrib module. Thoughts?
Regards,
Nikhils
