The pg_config program needs to display more information, specifically
where the location of pg_service.conf would reside.
Also, I know I've been harping on this for years (literally), but since
the PosgteSQL programs already have the notion that there is some static
directory for which to locate files (pg_service.conf), couldn't we also
use this directory to include pg_hba.conf, pg_ident.conf, and perhaps even
postgresql.conf?
Maybe we also add to pg_service.conf enough data to start a database so
that a tool, perhaps pg_service, could read and extract the info for
pg_ctl, so databases can be started by service names:
pg_ctl -S service_name start
This would tie together a great number of loose ends in PostgreSQL that I
have been whining about for years.
I'll do the coding and submit a patch, but I'd like to open a discussion
to know if it is worth the effort, i.e. do you guys want this behavior if
it is done well?
