Re: turning on debug without restarting postgres

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. I looked at this and I think it might not work for
us. The thing is that we have a connection pool that maintains connections
to the db so all connections being closed at the same time will never
happen. Does this pg_ctl thing do VERY clever restarting like spawning a new
back end, as each connection closes removing it from the old back end, and
directing all new connections to the new backend until all old connections
are closed?

Thanks,
