If you are reading the PL/Tcl source (i.e. the Postgres source, really), you should definitely be using a source code cross-referencing system; be it doxygen, or cscope, glimpse, or whatever tool fits the bill. If you cannot find out at a keystroke where to find the definition of NameStr() you are doomed [to take a lot longer to understand what's going on]. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
