I had no sort of financial interest at all in doing this, I did it for free, with the only form of reward that I received was that it made me happy when when my code was accepted. The only thing I wanted out of this was to improve my skills, and I thought working with PostgreSQL, due to it having very high coding standards was a good choice for a way to do this. If there was something being proposed here which would encourage more people to do as I did, then I think that would be a bonus. Perhaps someone may mumble something in disagreement about that though. It's hard for me to imagine that I've been the only person to do this. -- David Rowley http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ <http://www.2ndquadrant.com/> PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
