Sure, me too, but the point for me is that there doesn't seem to be a shred of a reason to go this way at all. We've turned a discussion about adding PGDLLIMPORT, which ought to be totally uncontroversial, into some kind of a discussion about adding an API layer that no one wants to prevent a hypothetical failure mode not in evidence. -- Robert Haas EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
