OK, that's a simple addition. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll make it pause just after it changes state, so you can connect and tell it to progress as far as you like. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
