I was inclined to dismiss it myself but I think the point that's come up here is interesting. The ISP has to not just install an RPM or type make install in some source tree -- but actually log into each customer's database and run an SQL script. That does seem like more work and more risk than a lot of ISPs will be willing to take on. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's Slony Replication support! -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
