PostgreSQL GUC 参数级别介绍
背景
在添加GUC参数时，需要注意你添加的参数属于什么类别的参数。
例如如果你想让普通用户能随时修改它，那么你需要将参数级别设置为PGC_USERSET。如果你想让超级用户能在线修改它，那么你需要将它设置为PGC_SUSET。如果你想让它能够在修改配置参数并通过信号生效，那么需要设置为PGC_SIGHUP。
GUC参数相关的代码如下
src/backend/utils/misc/guc.c
参数级别介绍
/*
* Displayable names for context types (enum GucContext)
*
* Note: these strings are deliberately not localized.
*/
const char *const GucContext_Names[] =
{
/* PGC_INTERNAL */ "internal", 编译数据库集群时设置
/* PGC_POSTMASTER */ "postmaster", 只能启动是设置
/* PGC_SIGHUP */ "sighup", 允许通过修改配置文件，并通过SIGHUP信号更新参数。
/* PGC_SU_BACKEND */ "superuser-backend", 超级用户的backend级参数
/* PGC_BACKEND */ "backend", 普通用户的backend级参数
/* PGC_SUSET */ "superuser", 允许超级用户在线修改的参数
/* PGC_USERSET */ "user" 允许普通用户在线修改的参数
};
