Hello All,
     For those on IRC, i am drauku/slipjack/chrish.

     First i would like to start off by coding a feature that DarcyB,
  nick from IRC, suggested as a starting point for me. A max connections
  settable limit. Since Bruce said that in 7.2 the pg_hda.conf gets
  reloaded into cache on a SIGHUP, i guess i could stick it in there
  and keep it backwards compatable? thoughts?


     Second, on this TODO item:
       * Point-in-time data recovery using backup and write-ahead log

     This is like journaling but with a database? Can someone please
  give me info on this? Thanks.

     Also, can anyone point out any "newbie" items that i could do to
  get started learning this api and system from the interals viewpoint?
  I am commited to coding for this project, and wanna get alot of stuff
  done so i will be at a place where i can help out with replication
  and all it's madness :)

Thanks,
Chris

TODO question and claim
sorry, i misunderstood what he said. since maxbackends is global,
would like something that isnt global, like relative to a db. here
is his messages:

--snip--

<DarcyB> maxbackends is GLOBAL, not specific to a DB and/or 
Authentication methood
<DarcyB> For example if you have a postgresinstall, with a maxbackends of 64
<chrish> authentication method?
<DarcyB> but that postmaster has 3 DB's in it.. (accounting, crm, demo)
<DarcyB> and you want to allow 32 connections to accounting 24 to crm 
and 8 to demo
<DarcyB> ....
<chrish> right, makes sence
<DarcyB> as per auth methood, I want to allow only 2 "remote" 
connections via SSL, and 16 via straight unix domain  and 14 via 
standatd TCP

--snip--

sorry for the communication error.
