Why not just return those bit(s) instead of an arbitrary code? How about: -1 = error (if it ever does anything that can fail) 0 = success (all bits known) >0 = unknown bits (remaining known bits *have* been set) -- Andrew Chernow eSilo, LLC every bit counts http://www.esilo.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
