If someone wants to look for a newgroup for PostgreSQL, he will type that word/string into his newsreader and it will not bring up any of these newsgroups. I just tried it on a server that carries the new groups, and the only newsgroup that comes up when I search for "PostgreSQL" is alt.comp.databases.postgresql. The name of the hierarchy should have been postgresql.* instead. Even with the rogue comp.* groups, the word PostgreSQL appeared in each of the bogus group names. -- Bill ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
