In the past I added a generic optimizer release item, saying "Improved optimizer handling of X, Y, Z" but Tom removed it because it was "content-free", and he was right. Again, what I would love to see is a detailed list of optimizer changes, not only for 8.3 but for back branch major releases as well, that we could link to from the release notes. I do think that information is useful to some segment of our user base. I just think putting optimizer items in the main release notes is going to decrease the usability of the release notes for the majority of users. -- Bruce Momjian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://postgres.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
