Is it possible to access postgres configuration from
a C stored procedure ?

I need to leverage memory usage and I'd use postgres configuration
rather then a compile-time define.

Is there such a configuration, if access is possible ?

--strk;

you can use show xxx to show configuration values

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

No direct interface for shared libs ?

I don't know if it's fair game, but GetConfigOptionByName() (declared
in utils/guc.h) appears to work. Can any of the developers comment
on whether it's appropriate for user-defined code to call this
function?
