Description

When running --about, a load_method config option is automatically included from SDK v32. This came up in #240 but we decided not to add it the README there. Many functions in target-postgres override the SDK versions, so not sure if setting load_method will do anything.

As a separate question, should it? Or is other target-postgres functionality already adequate for handling load_method functionality? Worth diving into further.

Research direction

Start by comparing target-postgres’s overridden SDK functions with the SDK v0.32 load_method behavior and inspect the --about output. Review issue #240, the README context, and existing target-postgres functionality to determine whether load_method is effective or needs support. Done means reaching and documenting a clear decision about its applicability and scope.
