to defaults

o Allow pg_hba.conf settings to be controlled via SQL

This would require a new global table that is dumped to flat file for

use by the postmaster. We do a similar thing for pg_shadow currently.

This would add a function to load the SQL table from

pg_hba.conf, and one to writes its contents to the flat file.

The table should have a line number that is a float so rows

can be inserted between existing rows, e.g. row 2.5 goes

between row 2 and row 3.

o Allow postgresql.conf file values to be changed via an SQL

API, perhaps using SET GLOBAL
