Обсуждение: [DOCS] 19.2. File Locations doesn't tell you the file locations!
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/runtime-config-file-locations.html Description: In the latest documentation "Section 19.2. File Locations" tells you how to set the locations of the various config files, but it doesn't tell you how to find out where they bloody well are in the first place! Which seems like a ridiculous ommission. If the section in the documentation titled 'File Locations' isn't the appropriate place to document the locations of the config files, then I don't know where the hell is. -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs

Description:
In the latest documentation "Section 19.2. File Locations" tells you how to
set the locations of the various config files, but it doesn't tell you how
to find out where they bloody well are in the first place! Which seems like
a ridiculous ommission.
If the section in the documentation titled 'File Locations' isn't the
appropriate place to document the locations of the config files, then I
don't know where the hell is.
The "installation instructions" covers where files are placed when installing from source.
If you are not installing from source them whomever compiled the package you are installing will have specified where they are placing files and you will need to inquire of them. The PostgreSQL docs don't cover file locations in depth because each of the many platforms we support have their own conventions.

It is of course possible to obtain the current values contained by the settings listed on that page with e.g.: SHOW config_file or SELECT setting FROM pg_settings WHERE name = 'config_file' Server has to be running, of course. The various ways of getting current parameter values are documented on the previous manual page here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/config-setting.html#config-setting-sql-command-interaction Regards Ian Barwick -- Ian Barwick http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
